2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  • Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the pork belly in a tight diamond pattern, making the cuts fairly close together.

 

  • Place the pork belly skin-side down on a cutting board and generously season the meat with the pork rub. Avoid seasoning the skin.

 

  • Coat the skin generously with salt to help produce a crisp, golden crackling.

  • Place the pork belly over indirect heat and roast for 30 minutes.

 

  • Reduce the grill temperature to approximately 180°C (355°F) and continue cooking for another 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 68–70°C (154–158°F).

 

  • Remove the pork belly from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
