Pork Belly Burnt Ends
Pork Belly Burnt Ends! If you love pork belly and want to try something a little different than this is for you!!
They’re smokey, they’re juicy on the inside and a little crispy on the outside and oh boy are they full of flavour.
This recipe is best made in a smoker but can also be done in your BBQ. We’ll include instructions.
Ingredients:
- 1.5kgs of boneless pork belly, cubed (ask our butchers to cut it for you)
- Pig Candy Seasoning
- 1 cup of Cobra Chilli Smokey BBQ Glaze
- 1 tbsp of honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup of chicken stock (you can use water if you don’t have stock)
- 3 tbsp of salted butter
For the Smoker
- Wood Chips/Chunks of your choice (we used a couple of handfuls of Apple Chips and a Chunk of Pecan
Equipment
- Alfoil
- Wire rack
- Heat proof dish
- A good appetite
Method:
- Cut your pork belly into 1 inch cubes. They don’t need to be perfect.
- Coat with Pig Candy rub and leave for at least 4 hours, or overnight. We popped ours in the fridge overnight.
- Fire up your Smoker or BBQ to 120c or 250f. Add in your wood of choice (see this video on how to add wood if you’re using a BBQ)
- Arrange your pork belly on wire racks, this allows the smoke to get in touch which every side of the pork. You can use a tray if you like.
- Place the racks in your Smoker or BBQ and let cook for 2 hours. (If using a BBQ you want to have a burner going on one side and put your meat on the opposite hide for indirect heat)
- In the mean time, combine your BBQ sauce, honey and stock.
- After 2 hours, remove the pork and add it to a heat proof tray. Pour over your sauce mixture insuring all your pork is coated well.
- Spread dobs of butter over the top and cover in foil.
- Return the tray to the smoker/BBQ for a further 1.5hours. (If you’re using a BBQ you can remove your wood chip pouch at this point)
- After 1.5 hours remove the foil, give it a little stir to re coat in the saucy goodness and cook for a further 30 mins uncovered. This is where your sauce thickens up and becomes sticky and delicious.
- Enjoy!
