  • New way for bacon ends

    A friend gave me this recipe several years back. We enjoyed it a couple of nights ago, and I have some bacon ends simmering right now for tonight.

    PORK BELLY PO’ BOYS
    Servings: 4
    Ingredients:

    3 pounds pork belly, sliced into 1-inch cubes

    1 cup mayonnaise

    6 tablespoons maple syrup

    ½ cup salt plus more for seasoning

    Six (6) French baguettes, sliced horizontally and toasted

    Louisiana-style hot sauce I use Crystal sauce. Less sour than Tabasco


    2 cups chopped lettuce


    I also add some thinly sliced sweet onions


    1 cup sliced dill pickles

    Peanut oil for frying

    Salt & pepper


    Directions:

    Fully submerge the pork belly in a pot of water, add the ½ cup of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the pork belly is flaky, 3 to 4 hours. Turn off the heat and drain.

    Heat the peanut oil to 350˚F in a fryer or large pot. Gently place handfuls of the rendered pork belly into the fryer until golden crispiness, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper.
    I use my air fryer instead of wasting peanut oil. Same great results.


    Mix the mayonnaise and maple syrup in a bowl. Spread a heft portion on the bottom baguette halves, followed by a little squirt of the hot sauce. Top with a handful of chopped lettuce, a couple of dill pickle slices and pork belly. Finish with a heavy drizzle of the mayonnaise-maple syrup mixture and enjoy!

      My best asset however is the inspiration from the members on this forum.

          I wish I could find pork belly around here that wasn't $10/lb. I'd love to try this.

            In Clackamas and Portland there are Resto Depot stores. I likely could hook you up with a membership card...

                    Thanks, but I don't get to that side of town enough, nor do enough cooking anymore, to make it worthwhile. The Cash-n-Carry up the street from my work has bellies for $3.20/lb but you have to special order them and they come in roughly 30 lb cases. Too much for me. I just wish a local store had single bellies that weren't outrageously price so I could just grab one on a whim.
