How do you cook belly pork?

Belly pork is one thing that really needs to be cooked slowly, either in the oven or slow cooker although I have heard of people cooking it on the barbecue before! There’s a real knack to making sure that you create a lovely, incredibly tender pork belly that’s cooked for just long enough.

But, it is possible to overcook pork belly strips so you need to make sure you get the balance just right. Slow cooking belly pork is a real art and it’s lovely when you manage to get it right, crispy pork belly that just melts in your mouth.

Slow cooked pork belly is such a delicious main dish for any occasion. The meat almost melts in your mouth and just falls apart. There really is no other way to cook pork belly than by slow cooking it, either in a crock pot or the oven. So here are our favourite belly pork recipes from across the internet:
