More Info
Our Pork Belly is supplied in selected portion sizes and can be cut to your chosen specification where available.
As this is a naturally shaped cut, the thickness, dimensions and ratio of meat to fat may vary slightly between portions.
This product is imported frozen and handled under carefully controlled cold-chain conditions.
You have the choice whether you would like this product supplied frozen or professionally defrosted under refrigeration. Defrosting requires advance notice and may affect the earliest available collection or delivery date.
It is ideal for slow roasting, braising and Asian-style dishes. When supplied with the skin intact and prepared correctly, it can also produce crisp, golden crackling.
Cooking Tips
- Slow roasting: Cook gently to allow the fat to render and the meat to become tender. Increase the heat where appropriate to finish and crisp the exterior.
- For crackling: If the skin is intact, dry it thoroughly before cooking. Score carefully without cutting deeply into the meat, then season with salt.
- Braising: Cook slowly in stock, wine, soy-based sauce or another seasoned liquid until tender.
- Braaiing: Use moderate or indirect heat and cook patiently. The high fat content can cause flare-ups over direct flames.
- Asian-style dishes: Pork Belly works well with ginger, garlic, chilli, soy, honey, five-spice and citrus.
- Serving suggestion: Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, coleslaw or a sharp salad to balance its richness.
Allow the Pork Belly to rest before slicing.
Storage
Keep frozen until required and defrost thoroughly in the refrigerator before cooking.
If supplied defrosted at your request, keep refrigerated, use within the period advised on the packaging and preferably do not refreeze while raw.
