Pork Belly In Pasilla Sauce Food

CRISPY PORK BELLY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Season pork belly all over with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Wrap pork in parchment paper; wrap a second time in aluminum foil, and a third time in another sheet of aluminum foil. Place pork packet in a baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender for 6 hours. Let cool in wrappings to room temperature; place cooled packet in refrigerator and chill for 8 hours or overnight.
• Unwrap chilled meat. Save any rendered fat that falls away when unwrapping pork.
• Cut meat into 6 equal-size portions. Cut 1/8-inch by 1/8-inch slashes in the fat-side of the pork. Season with salt.
• Heat 2 tablespoons reserved pork fat in a skillet over medium heat. Place pork belly, fat side down, in hot fat; cook until well-browned on all sides and heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer pork belly to a plate, drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper.

Steps:

• Put the pork in a heavy Dutch oven large enough to fit pork comfortably.
• Pour in enough cold water to cover the meat by about 2 inches.
• Add 2 tablespoons salt, bay leaf and bring to a boil.
• Boil for one hour, skimming foam off surface as necessary.
• Cut the stems off the guajillo chiles. Tap out the seeds.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
• Add half the chiles and toast them in the skillet, turning with tongs, until they crisp up a bit and change color, about 4 minutes.
• Lift out chiles and repeat with remaining chiles.
• Pour enough boiling water over the toasted chiles to cover them. Soak until completely softened, about 20 minutes. Drain well.
• Wipe out the skillet with paper towels, put the onion and tomatoes cut sides down in the skillet. Cook, turning the veggies as often as necessary, until tomatoes are blackened on all sides and the onions are blackened on both flat sides.
• After the pork cooks one hour, ladle off 2 cups of the cooking liquid and pour into blender. Add onions and puree until smooth. Add chiles and tomatoes and blend until smooth.
• Ladle off another 2 cups of the cooking liquid and set aside. Drain pork, discard remaining liquid, wipe out the pot.
• Set the pot over medium-low heat and add the oil or lard. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, 3-4 minutes.
• Pour the chili sauce into the pot slowly, stir well.
• Return the pork to a simmer, cover the pot and cook until tender, about 1 hour. While it cooks, there should be enough sauce to moisten the pork. If not, add reserved pork cooking liquid as needed.
• Serve hot over white rice or with flour tortillas.

SLICED PORK BELLY WITH HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice pork belly into small cube-like pieces. Slice off extra fat, if you wish.
• Add sliced pork belly to a large pan and start frying on high heat. Do not add cooking oil.
• Constantly move pork belly slices in the beginning. Cook them for about 5 minutes on one side on high heat, then 5 minutes on the other side on high-medium heat. Use splatter screen. The total cooking time should be about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, if the pan gets too hot. The sliced pork belly should get crispy and browned.
• As you're cooking you might have to reduce heat from high to medium as the pan gets hot. There shouldn't be any burnt pieces and the pan should not get burned on the bottom (I used stainless steel pan). Don't crowd the pan. Depending on the size of your frying pan, you might have to do this in 2 batches.
• Remove pan-fried pork belly slices to a plate. Remove extra fat from the frying pan.
• Add 1/4 cup honey and 3 tablespoons tamari sauce, and minced garlic.
• Heat up the sauce until it boils, reduce heat, and cook for about 1 minute stirring. Remove from heat.
• Add 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and stir it in. Add back the sliced pork belly.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds on top. Top with chopped green onion, and serve.

PORK BELLY IN PASILLA SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pork belly rub: Combine the brown sugar, salt, mustard and paprika in a bowl.
• For the pork belly: Trim the pork bellies and cut them into 6-inch squares. Score them horizontally and vertically on the fat side of the belly. (The score should be roughly 1/4-inch deep made with the tip of the knife.) Coat the bellies heavily with 1 cup rub and place inside a vacuum seal bag. Add the fat, garlic and thyme to the bag. Vacuum seal airtight and cure, refrigerated, overnight, or for up to 24 hours.
• Set a thermal circulator to 190 degrees F.
• Add the pork belly in the bag to the water bath. Cook 24 hours, then transfer to an ice bath and chill until the pork is under 40 degrees F. Remove the bellies from the bag, then pat dry with a towel and cut into roughly 6-ounce portions. Reserve for deep frying later.
• For the pasilla sauce: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place tomatoes and onions in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil. Place on grill and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Place macadamia nuts in a baking pan and bake 5 to 10 minutes.
• Saute garlic and chiles in a pot on medium heat until the flavors begin to meld, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock, lime juice, cumin and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Puree in a blender until the sauce is very fine and smooth. Season to taste and finish the sauce with lime juice until the desired acidity has been reached. (Be careful when blending a sauce that is hot! It has a tendency to make a mess of your kitchen if you do not start off blending on slow. Also make sure blender is covered. Gradually work your speed up to full blast to get the velvet texture of the sauce, about 2 minutes total in the blender.)
• For the pickled carrots: Heat the vinegar, brown sugar and salt in a saucepot until it boils, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour the hot liquid over the carrots in a heatproof container and chill overnight.
• For the sour apple slaw: Julienne the cucumber on a mandoline into a bowl. Core the apples (leave the skin on) and julienne on the mandoline into the same bowl. Shave the cabbage paper-thin and add to the bowl. Add the salt, granulated sugar, pepper, lime juice, cilantro and 1 cup pickled carrots. Adjust salt, sugar and lime as needed.
• For the pork belly in pasilla sauce: Heat the oil in a 6- to 8-quart pot to 350 degrees F.
• Fry 6 ounces pork belly until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to paper towels and dab with additional paper towels to remove any extra grease.
• Heat up 3 ounces pasilla sauce. Place sauce in a circle on a plate. Plate 2 tablespoons slaw in the center of the sauce, followed by the fried pork belly. Place 2 tablespoons slaw on top. Garnish with the micro greens on the very top of the slaw and drizzle Paprika Oil around the plate.
• Steep paprika in oil in a small saucepan over low heat until it comes to a boil or 30 minutes. Allow to chill at room temperature for a few hours, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer.
