Sweet-and-Spicy Glazed Pork Belly image

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 stick stick cinnamon
1 1/4 cups orange juice
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 cups chicken broth
3 pounds pork belly

Steps:

  • Combine in a medium bowl cumin, chile powder, black pepper, salt, and sugar. Remove two tablespoons of the spice mixture and set aside to make the glaze.
  • Rub remaining spice mixture all over pork belly. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
  • In a small saucepan, combine reserved spice mixture, orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, cinnamon sticks, and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook until slightly thickened and heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set glaze aside.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove pork belly from refrigerator and rinse off spice mixture; pat dry with paper towels. Add remaining 1 cup orange juice and chicken stock to a roasting pan. Place over medium-high heat and cook until liquid just comes to a simmer. Add pork, fat side up, to roasting pan. Transfer to oven and cook until meat is very tender and easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Cook pork belly until browned and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes more, basting with reserved glaze every 10 minutes.
  • Remove pork from roasting pan and transfer to a cutting board; let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2-by-3-inch pieces.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork belly turned out perfectly. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The glaze was also delicious.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try making it again with less chili peppers.

I'm not a big fan of pork belly, but this recipe changed my mind. The glaze was so good that it made the pork belly irresistible.

This recipe is a keeper! The pork belly was crispy and flavorful, and the glaze was perfect. I served it with roasted potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with everyone at the table.

The pork belly was a little too fatty for my taste, but the glaze was delicious. I think I'll try making it again with a leaner cut of pork.
