Tender Slow-Braised Pork Belly with Roasted Root Vegetables
Enjoy a hearty and refined dish that balances the rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor of slow-braised pork belly with the earthy sweetness of roasted root vegetables, brightened by a cool, protein-packed Greek yogurt drizzle and a side of creamy white beans.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz Pork Belly
1/2 cup White Beans (cooked, no salt added)
1 cup Mixed Root Vegetables (Carrots & Parsnips)
3/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Season the pork belly with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and fresh thyme. In a heavy skillet or Dutch oven, sear the pork belly on all sides over medium-high heat until lightly browned.
Add a splash of water or low-sodium broth, cover, and let the pork belly slow-braise on low heat for about 45 minutes until tender.
While the pork belly braises, chop the carrots and parsnips into uniform pieces. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
Gently warm the white beans in a small saucepan with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of water, stirring occasionally.
Prepare the Greek yogurt drizzle by stirring in a little crushed garlic and a pinch of pepper.
To serve, plate the roasted root vegetables and white beans, then top with slices of the slow-braised pork belly. Drizzle the Greek yogurt sauce over the top, and garnish with an extra sprig of thyme if desired.
