PORK BELLY!!!
awhile back dan (of the "McG" clan) had asked me about belly burnt ends but without a smoker......well, i almost got there but as usual....i got side tracked. i was at U.S. Food's "Chef's Store" (sorta like rest-depot but bigger and cleaner) and i saw a couple of bellies that were skinned and marked down for $20 each so i picked them up and went into work.
made a sauce for braising outta tomatoes, green chilis, onion, garlic, cilantro and a can of chipotles...blended them all up..
then i made a rub for the belly and then seared it both sides on a very hot grill....
then after 10 min in the freezer to firm it up, i made 1'' cubes.....
and then gave them a light dusting of more spice before gong into a 350 oven ......
after about an hour......the smell is ridiculous.......
sauced, covered and back into the oven for 'bout 90-120 minutes or so.....
after all is said and done...........
the wait wasn't easy but well worth it.....
well dan, it isn't what we talked about but the process will definitely work..............and didn't i say i got 2 bellies!
as usual...thx for stoppin' by...........
