    Folks,

    I am scheduled to come into the happy possession of *three* 3-lb pork bellies (from local, pastured, mostly Large Black, mutt pigs) this weekend. I'm entering a delirious state, needless to say. So now I'm confronted by the happy task of contemplating how to prepare them. It suddenly occurred to me that my fellow LTHers probably had a deep collective wisdom on the topic. I herewith propose that you enlighten me with your favorite belly recipe. Anything goes, Asian to New Orleanian, French to Romanian, tell me what you cook!

    TIA!!

    I hope RAB will weigh in if he sees this thread. He made something for us a couple of years back -- a ssam-like, Korean-style take on pork belly -- that was truly spectacular. I know it involved his immersion circulator.

    Do you have a smoker? You could make bacon.

    Hi,

    Twice cooked pork belly from an Iron Chef challenge sometime ago was pretty good and unexpected use of molasses.

    Geo,

    I made this porchetta for Christmas dinner a couple of years ago, and the guests inhaled it; it was incredible!

    Zak Pelaccio's pork belly and watermelon salad (the pork fries also sound good but I've never made them). Both recipes are from Eat With Your Hands (I found these reprints online).
