Yield 12 to 15 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1/4 cup cumin seeds
1/4 cup fennel seeds
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon whole cloves
2 teaspoons white peppercorns
4 cinnamon sticks
4 pieces star anise
1 cup salt
2/3 cup sugar
3 sides pork belly
5 ounces garlic cloves, peeled
5 large carrots, cut into thirds
4 onions, quartered
1 bunch celery, ribs quartered
48 ounces dark beer
4 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ground sage
6 bay leaves
7 pounds ketchup
4 cups brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
5 tablespoons mustard powder
3 tablespoons Sriracha
4 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke
1 tablespoon sambal
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
Hamburger buns, for serving

Steps:

  • For the pork belly rub: Two to three days before cooking, prepare the pork belly rub. Toast the cumin seeds, fennel seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, cloves, white peppercorns, cinnamon sticks and star anise in a dry pan until fragrant, and then grind in a spice grinder. Put the mixture into a medium bowl, add the salt and sugar and mix well.
  • For the pork belly: Rub the pork belly thoroughly with the rub and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days. Wash the rub off the pork belly and cut each into 6 squares. Put the garlic, carrots, onions and celery in a large pan. Place the belly pieces on top of the vegetables and add the dark beer. Cover with hot water and add the black pepper, sage and bay leaves. Put the pan over high heat and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and simmer until the pork is super tender and easily breaks apart. Taste for salt and add some if needed before turning the heat off. Remove the pork from the liquid and cool enough to be able to peel the skin and fat off. Shred the meat while warm for easy shredding. Cool in the refrigerator to avoid the meat getting tough. For the BBQ sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, honey, molasses, Worcestershire, mustard, Sriracha, liquid smoke, sambal and coriander in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • To assemble the sloppy joes: Warm some of the pork belly meat with some of the BBQ sauce. Serve in hamburger buns.

These sloppy joes were a lot of work, but they were worth it! The pork belly was so flavorful and the barbecue sauce was perfect. I'll definitely be making these again for a special occasion.

These sloppy joes were a little too sloppy for my taste, but they were still delicious. I think next time I'll use less barbecue sauce. Overall, I'm happy with how they turned out.

These Sloppy Joes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought barbecue sauce, but I think next time I'll try making my own. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper for some extra spice.

I've made Sloppy Joes many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The pork belly adds a richness and depth of flavor that you just can't get from ground beef. I'll definitely be making these again and again.
