Hey guys, so saturday my girlfriend was at costco and asked me if I wanted anything, YES, a pork belly! Now I can youtube all the ways cook it, WHAT I'm asking is what would YOU do with it? I'm thinking of cutting it into 3 pieces... help me come to some decisions.

Never done one so no help to offer. Watching this thread.

Theres bacon, of course.. but at my sons wedding they had an appetizer that was pork belly on a cracker with some micro greens, I think, it was awesome. I want to try a couple things with this piece..lol

BACON!

@JDann24 , noted. i guess i need curing salt though
-
The pink salt is not a necessity. I've only cured one pork belly before and used a simple cure. I think I found it on YouTube.
Man, that's one BIG belly! I'll be interested in what you end up doing with all of it!

@buttman , THAT is awesome, just last night I was wondering if there was a way i could roll it up and put it on the roti, I was thinking picanha style, and low and behold, YOU provide confirmation!!! Awesome!!

There's a lot of different recipes and videos out there for it. I've always wanted to do one.
I bought a 10 lb belly last week but decided to make bacon out of it. Cut it into thirds and now it's curing for a week in Morton's Tender Quick.

I would have salted it very well. Let it sit for 4-5 days, then cold smoked it for about 7-10 days, After that, it would have hung in my cold cellar for about 6 weeks. Then I would have ate it!

@Darko , bacon is still on the list!!
@buttman , I've decided to do the Lechon Limpio for next weekend... I'll take some video. Good luck on your bacon!

No, its not bacon!!!! What you get is a nicely cured pork belly... dried and smoked... eaten raw.
