PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

CRISPY ROASTED

Score the skin, salt well, and roast high to crackling; finish low to render fat and keep meat tender.

BRAISED PORK BELLY

Braise in low-carb stock with garlic, ginger, and soy-sauce-low-sodium or tamari until meltingly tender.

GRILLED PORK BELLY

Slice into thick slabs and grill over charcoal for a smoky, crisp exterior.

CARNITAS-STYLE

Slow-cook in its own fat (or lard), then crisp in a hot pan for shredded, golden edges.

PAN-SEARED STEAKS

Cut into steak-size pieces and hard-sear; baste with garlic and herbs for a glossy finish.
