INGREDIENTS
4 oz braised Pork Belly (110g)
1 cup roasted Brussels Sprouts (88g)
3/4 cup roasted Chickpeas (130g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Season the Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, toss them with a little olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and add them to the baking sheet with the sprouts.
Roast the Brussels sprouts and chickpeas in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sprouts are caramelized and the chickpeas are crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the pork belly by slow braising it in a covered pot with aromatics such as garlic, ginger, and a splash of low-sodium broth for about 2 hours, until tender. Trim any excess fat as needed.
For a crisp finish, briefly sear the braised pork belly in a hot pan or under a broiler for 3-4 minutes until the exterior is nicely browned.
Plate the sliced pork belly alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts and chickpeas. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of tender meat and crispy vegetables.
