Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place the pork belly on a cutting board and make a pocket in the center by slicing horizontally through the meat, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 3
Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
Step 4
Fill the pocket of the pork belly with the breadcrumb mixture and secure with toothpicks.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork belly and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
Step 6
Transfer the pork belly to a baking dish and bake for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
While the pork belly is baking, prepare the spicy gremolata. In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, sage, rosemary, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Mix well.
Step 8
Once the pork belly is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 9
To make the shirred cauliflower, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower florets and garlic, and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 10
Add the salt, black pepper, white wine or chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the cauliflower is fully cooked.
Step 11
Serve the stuffed pork belly slices with the spicy gremolata and shirred cauliflower on the side.
Step 12
Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Chef's Tips
• For an extra layer of flavor, consider using a high-quality pork belly with a good fat content
