Oven-Baked Pork Belly

Ingredients

• Salted pork belly 5 lbs
• Salt to taste

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Rub the pork belly generously with salt on the skin side and place it in the refrigerator overnight, uncovered.

Step 2

Lightly salt the pork belly on the meat side, roll it tightly into a log with the skin facing out, and tie it with culinary twine.

Step 3

Place the roulade in an oven preheated to 265°F for 2.5 to 3 hours. The internal temperature of the meat should reach 145°F.

Step 4

Increase the oven temperature to maximum. The skin should bubble and become crispy. Let the cooked meat rest for a bit before serving.
