Ingredients
For the Pork Belly
To Serve
Charred Pork Belly Confit with Whisky BBQ Glaze & Braised Red Cabbage
Directions
Prepare the BBQ
-
Step 2 Preheat the BBQ to a medium-high heat (approximately 180–200°C).
Crisp the Pork Belly
-
Step 4 Remove the Pork Belly Confit from the packaging and gently pat the skin dry with kitchen paper.
-
Step 5 Place the pork belly skin-side down onto a hot BBQ or cast iron griddle and cook for 8–10 minutes until the skin is crisp and lightly charred. Carefully turn and cook for a further 8–10 minutes, allowing the fat to render slightly and the meat to heat through completely.
-
Step 6 Remove from the heat and set aside briefly.
Make the Whisky BBQ Glaze
-
Step 8 Meanwhile, combine the DukesHill Whisky Cask Cider, honey, brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and garlic in a small saucepan.
-
Step 9 Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–6 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Glaze the Pork Belly
-
Step 11 Return the pork belly to the BBQ and generously brush all over with the whisky BBQ glaze.
-
Step 12 Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, turning carefully and brushing with more glaze until beautifully caramelised with a rich, sticky finish.
Slice & Serve
-
Step 14 Transfer the pork belly to a board and rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thick portions.
-
Step 15 Serve alongside warm DukesHill Braised Red Cabbage and DukesHill Potato Gratin. Spoon over a little extra warm whisky BBQ glaze and finish with fresh thyme or chives.
