Beautiful Pork Belly from Lindy & Grundy
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Score the pork belly, season with salt & pepper then drizzle with olive oil
Add garlic & thyme to pan, resting the scored pork belly on top
Pour about 1/2 bottle of wine around the belly
Cover with foil
Cook for 2 hours in oven
Remove pork from baking pan
Make the gravy by first deglazing with the rest of the white wine
Reduce, add chicken stock, reduce again then sieve into bowl
Cover and put gravy in fridge
Get two trays (I used two glass pans) and press together
Weigh down with heavy cans, or use foil-covered bricks
Cold-press in fridge for at least 6 hours
Remove weights and top pan (carefully)
Cut into portions
Preheat oven to 500 degrees
Cook for 10 minutes or until crisped to your liking

Did you rest your pork belly on towels in the in the dish that goes in the fridge? It looks like there’s white surrounding your pork in the glass dish. Was there a reason you did it that way? Just want to know cause I’m DEFINITELY going to make this dish!
Hi. The white is cold FAT. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did on Thanksgiving!
One last question (sorry!!!): How big was your cut of pork belly?
Hi. About 6 pounds.
I can’t wait till it is done. Thanks for the inspiration.
