Caramel-Lacquered Pork Belly with Quick-Pickled Honeydew

The key to this dish is the rich Vietnamese-inspired dark caramel. A little bitterness in the caramel makes it more complex, so take the caramel as far as you can, then pull it off the heat and let stand for a minute before adding the other ingredients.

Pork Belly Sisig

The skin of Filipino pork belly sisig is supercrisp (from roasting), and the meat is tangy (from marinating) and juicy (from being braised with aromatics and spices).

Slow-Roasted Pork Belly with Eggplant and Pickled Fennel

Paul Virant swears by a very slow, four-hour method of roasting pork belly to render a lot of the fat and make the meat superbly succulent and tender. Seasoning the pork liberally with a mix of salt, pepper, smoked paprika and herbes de Provence before cooking results in an amazing crust.

Pork Belly Porchetta with Truffles


This is Nadine Levy Redzepi’s high-low approach to pork, combining a humble, fatty cut with upscale but affordable preserved truffles. The meat is cooked until just tender; it won’t be meltingly soft like a braise, but it has that irresistible crunchy layer of fat to keep everything juicy.
