7th March – Grilled marinated pork belly

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 500g of pork belly
  • 3 small shallots – sliced and diced
  • 1/2 an onion – sliced and diced
  • 3 cloves of garlic – finely sliced
  • 1 heaped teaspoon of chilli flakes (more if you prefer)
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

You should marinate the pork the day before eating preferably. 🙂

This recipe gave me chance to use my new pestle and mortar, which was fun!  Put all of the ingredients into a large pestle and mortar and pound until nicely beaten together.  It doesn’t need to be a perfectly consistent sauce but more of a salad dressing style consistency.  Slice the belly of pork in half and then into half inch strips.  Place the pork and marinade into a snap lock container, mix well and leave to marinate for 24 hours.

When it comes to cooking the pork you can do it on a BBQ or under a very hot grill.  To do it under the grill, heat the grill upto its maximum setting.  Pour the contents of the pork and marinade container into a foil lined oven tray and stick under the hot grill.  Turn the pieces of belly pork over once they start to go crispy and golden.  Once cooked on both sides serve up with some chips and salad and enjoy the flavours!
