Pork Belly Questions

thailandjohn · January 2014

I have never smoked a pork belly. I had a Vietnamese sandwich today with pork belly and it was delicious. I want to do pork belly where the skin is crispy, anybody have any ideas

I used the recipe in Serious Barbecue and it came out great, with crispy skin, too.

I'll be doing this Saturday.looks amazing. Is it a main meal protein or traditionally an appetizer?

Good comparison of technique here. I would think the same rules apply.

Looked at this, looks great, but I've never seen a pork shoulder with skin on. From the bone, this looks more like a Picnic maybe?

@cookinbob - yea most definitely a picnic shoulder. I know i'm fortunate to have a local grocery store that stocks such things in the meat case and belly out back if i ask for it .. but definitely ask your butcher - they should be able to get these things easily from their pork provider.

I've done this recipe to the letter with just some Goya Mojo Criollo injected first - it is really fantastic. I've been meaning to replicate it on the egg to stuff in arepas and serve with some curtido I made (south american sauerkraut).

Where do you live @TonyA? I'd like to come over for a meal
