Ingredients

  • 2 lb pork belly
  • 1 large clove garlic crushed or finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp sweet paprika
  • 2 Tbsp hot smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp dried coriander
  • 1 Tbsp oregano
  • 3 Tbsp white wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Score the skin of the pork belly if it is skin on, make slashes in the meat, about 1/8" deep. Make these slashes in the fatty side of meat if it is a skin off belly. This will allow the marinade to penetrate into the meat.
  2. Mix garlic and all spices, along with white wine vinegar into a slurry. Slather mixture over pork, making sure to cover all surfaces and get spices into the slashes in the meat.
  3. Place meat into a glass dish or ziplock bag and marinate in fridge for 24 hours.
  4. Bring meat to room temperature while you prepare your oven or barbecue, preheating it to 300°. If using the barbecue create a drip tray with tin foil to catch fat and prevent flare ups.
  5. Place meat over your drip pan if on barbecue or on a wire rack over a sheet pan (covered in tin foil makes clean up easier).
  6. Roast low and slow, keeping temperature at 300°, for 2 1/2 - 3 hours
  7. Remove from heat, allow to rest and cut into generous slices, about 1/2"- 3/8" thick

Recipe Notes

You could definitely serve this with Argentinian Chimichurri, even though it's a Chilean spice mix. I won't tell.
