Had some belly parts left over from my bacon this week so I took some odds and ends to make some snacks. I put them in the Sous Vide for 36 hours, glazed them with a soy, ginger, Mirin reduction.  36 hrs was too long for there thinner parts but the flavors were great. I'll definitely do this again with a 12 hour sv
. Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos This is it out of the bath Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos Here it is all glazed up and out of the egg (Er......oven).

    What happened to the porchetta?

    Belly is the next thing I'll try sous vide.  My plan is to rub with jamaican jerk spices and then cook sous vide for 36-48 hours and finally sear all sides in a cast iron pan to crisp the skin.  My butcher expects to get his ordernext tuesday.

    Porchetta is coming out for dinner tonight. I'm going to finish it on the egg. Hope 72 hrs wasn't too much. It was very thick but now I'm a little worried it was a day too long. We'll see. Doing a brisket tonight so I'm back in my comfort zone.

    Thanks smoke. A little too much time in the sv but I'll try to dial it in and do it again for sure. Belly is so good in so many ways
