To truly enjoy pork belly, you need to learn to stop worrying and love the fat, because the undeniable truth is that with pork belly, it's all about the fat. The delicious, buttery-when-perfectly-cooked, gorgeous, silky fat of this cut is one of the most singularly delicious things that meat-lovers can have. The fat, when slowly rendered, melts lovingly into the surrounding flesh, providing the lucky eater with a sumptuous, silky texture.
Then, or course, there's the skin, which crisps up like a dream if handled properly – just don't be too alarmed if you're faced with the odd hair or nipple.
Enjoy this list, and don't forget to check out our bigger collection of wobbly, unctuous, glorious pork belly recipes when you're done.
