Citrus Glazed Pork Belly Recipes

CHINESE-STYLE GLAZED PORK BELLY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cut the pork belly into roughly 1-inch (2 ½ cm) cubes.
• Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a pot, then add the pork, ginger, onion, and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
• Remove the pork from the water using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with a paper towel. Discard the remaining water and vegetables.
• Clean and dry the pot, then return it to high heat and add the olive oil. Return the pork to the pan and cook until browned. The oil may pop and splatter, so be careful.
• Add the brown sugar, then reduce the heat to low. Stir continuously until the sugar has melted, caramelized, and coated the pork evenly.
• Immediately add the soy sauces and rice wine, stirring continuously for 5-6 minutes more, or until the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
• Add the remaining 250 milliliters of water. Stir, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes. Make sure the mixture is at a low simmer, not boiling. Stir every 10 minutes or so, adding more water if the pot is getting dry.
• Remove the lid. The sauce should coat the pork in a very thick glaze. If it is too runny, continue to stir, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced.
• Serve immediately over a bowl of rice and sprinkle with sliced green onions.

CRISP PORK BELLY WITH A SPICY CITRUS SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pork belly: Score the skin of the pork belly in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife. Rub the sea salt into the pork skin and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 220°C Wipe the salt off the pork skin with kitchen paper and dry well. Put the pork belly in a metal roasting pan, large enough to fit it and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast for 30 minutes. Reduce temperature to 190C and roast for another 2 hours, brushing generously with Spicy Sauce every 1/2 hour. Carefully turn the pork over, brush generously with sauce and roast for another 20-30 minutes, or until the skin is crisp.
• Remove the pork from the oven, cover loosely with foil and set aside to rest for 15 minutes. Slice the pork and drizzle with whatever Spicy Citrus Sauce is left, as desired.
• Spicy Citrus Sauce: Put all the Sauce ingredients into a mini-processor and zap them together to finely chop garlic. Pour into a small saucepan and cook, stirring, over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10, or until syrupy. Season to taste.

CITRUS-BRAISED PORK

Steps:

• Mix orange juice, onion, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, salt, oregano, cumin, lime zest, pepper, and bay leaves in a heavy Dutch oven. Add pork shoulder; turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 4 hours to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove Dutch oven from the refrigerator and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake pork in the preheated oven until heated through, about 1 1/2 hours. Flip pork carefully. Replace foil and bake for 1 hour more. Remove aluminum foil. Continue baking uncovered, turning once halfway through, until pork falls apart and marinade is reduced, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Remove pork from oven and let rest for 20 minutes. Shred pork in the Dutch oven using 2 forks; mix shredded pork with the reduced marinade. Discard bay leaves.

CITRUS GLAZED PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Adjust oven setting to broil.
• Using a sharp knife, score the fat side of the pork belly, diagonally, and season with salt and pepper on all sides, rubbing the salt and pepper into the scored parts of the flesh.
• Place the onion, carrots, and celery in the bottom of a large roasting pan and put the pork belly, scored side up, on top of the vegetables.
• Broil until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Turn the pork flesh side up and continue broiling for 5 more minutes.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F.
• Turn the pork back to the scored side up and add the chicken stock, 2 cups of the juice, light brown sugar, thyme, cloves, and allspice to the roasting pan.
• Cover with foil and bake for 2 hours. After 2 hours, then loosen the foil to make a little steam vent and bake for another 2 hours or until the meat is very tender.
• While the pork is braising, prepare the glaze.
• Start by using a fine wire-meshed sieve to strain any pulp out of the remaining 2 cups juice.
• Combine the juice and 3/4 cup of sugar in a medium saucepan and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil and cook until the glaze is thick and syrupy, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the pork cool slightly in the braising liquid.
• Adjust oven setting to broil.
• Remove the pieces of pork belly from the braising liquid and pat dry. Using a pastry brush, baste the pork belly on all sides with the glaze.
• Place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and broil for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crispy around the edges and golden brown.
• Drizzle pork belly generously with any remaining glaze and serve immediately.
