Today, for the first time, I tried cooking up some sliced pork belly. I've never cooked pork belly before but the package of sliced pork belly looked irresistible so I bought a package to try it out. I seasoned it with some black pepper and a light application of one of my favorite meat rubs, a barbeque and brown sugar concoction that I like on pork roasts and ribs. I put it on the Louisiana Grill and smoked it for three hours and then cranked the heat up to 250 and finished cooking it. It needed a little more salt but I fixed that when I made a sandwich. It was so good that I called my daughter and her boyfriend over and told them to come by for lunch. It got their seal of approval too.
It is a lot different that any bacon that I've had in the past and went really well with the Heineken I had to wash it down with. Sorry for the cell phone picture but it was all I had at the moment.
