Slow-Braised Pork Belly with Crispy Roasted Vegetables
Enjoy a comforting dish of tender, slow-braised pork belly paired with a medley of crispy roasted Brussels sprouts, carrots, and hearty cannellini beans, all finished with a sprinkle of protein-rich hemp seeds for an unexpected nutritional boost and a delightful crunch.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Trimmed Pork Belly
1 cup Brussels Sprouts
1/2 cup chopped Carrots
1/2 cup Cannellini Beans
2 tbsp Hemp Seeds
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Score the skin of the trimmed pork belly lightly and season with salt and pepper. Place in a heavy skillet and sear on medium-high heat until the fat renders and the surface begins to brown.
Transfer the pork belly to a Dutch oven, add a splash of water or low-sodium broth, cover, and braise in an oven preheated to 300°F for 2 to 2.5 hours until tender. Once done, remove and let rest; you can reserve and skim off some rendered fat for added flavor if desired.
While the pork belly is braising, toss Brussels sprouts and chopped carrots with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes until edges are crispy.
About 10 minutes before finishing the vegetable roast, gently warm the drained cannellini beans in a small pot with a pinch of salt and a splash of water to heat through.
Plate a serving portion of sliced pork belly (approximately the entire 4 oz portion) alongside a mix of roasted Brussels sprouts, carrots, and cannellini beans.
Finish by sprinkling 2 tablespoons of hemp seeds over the top to add a nutty flavor and boost protein content. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavors and textures.
