Tender Slow-Braised Pork Belly with Crispy Roasted Root Vegetables
Enjoy a satisfying plate of slow-braised pork belly paired with lightly roasted root vegetables, enhanced with a refreshing fat-free Greek yogurt drizzle. This dish balances the richness of braised pork with the earthy sweetness of carrots and parsnips, and a hint of herbaceous aromatics.
INGREDIENTS
4.5 ounces Pork Belly (divided portion: 4 oz and additional 0.5 oz)
1/2 cup White Beans (cannellini, no salt added)
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1/2 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Fat-Free Greek Yogurt
Assorted herbs & spices (rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Score the pork belly lightly on the fat side and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of mixed herbs.
In a heavy, oven-safe pot, sear the pork belly pieces over medium-high heat until they are browned all over.
Add a splash of water or a light broth to the pot and cover. Braise the pork belly in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours until it is tender.
Meanwhile, peel the carrot and parsnip. Cut them into uniform bite-sized pieces and toss with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of rosemary and thyme.
Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes until they become crispy on the edges.
Drain and rinse the white beans. Gently warm them with a dash of garlic powder and pepper in a small saucepan.
Once the pork belly is braised and tender, remove it from the pot and slice into serving portions.
Plate the sliced pork belly alongside the roasted root vegetables and white beans. Drizzle the fat-free Greek yogurt over the top for a light, refreshing finish.
Serve warm and enjoy the combination of rich, tender pork with the crisp, earthy vegetables and creamy tang.
