Leftover pork belly burnt ends

[Ron’s Pit-A-Full BBQ]

Does anyone have any ideas of how to repurpose leftover smoked pork belly burnt ends? I was think of grinding some to grill as patties but not sure if I should add anything to the grind mixture. Thanks!

If they have been seasoned and sauced like typical burnt ends, I would not add any additional seasoning. But that's just me.

Wait... how did you have leftover PBBEs??!?!

Never heard of such a thing!

Just kidding of course as they're usually gobbled up. I made a batch the other day and I too have some left over. My plan is just to reheat them in the foil pan in the oven.

You definitely won't need to add any fat to them. Depending on how you seasoned/sauced/glazed them.. that will all affect the flavor of your final product.

Hopefully someone has done this before and has a good answer! Otherwise post up what you end up doing with them.

Man I love PBBE so much I’d warm them up as is and eat daily till gone. I’d think you could use them in some kind of Asian stir fry with a sweet sauce and some veggies.

Freeze in lunch size portions and enjoy later.......

They freeze great. Slice them and they make great sliders with a bit of slaw.

I agree with OldSmoke , sliders with a bit of slaw. Just vac pack & freeze them in individual portions, then reheat for the sliders when you feel like a quick snack.

They could also go well in a side dish of baked beans.

I'd probably just heat them up & eat them, before anybody else notices them!!!
Watch out for the Ranger!!!

You mean like this.....

Or this the slaw is under the slices.....

 

[civilsmoker]

Or one more for ya.....Put the in a hot fry pan to sear and pair them with a sunny side egg like this......

I will second the Asian style......

Sauteed in a Korean BBQ sauce and then put over a bed of rice, cabbage then dressed with green onions, Sseeds, sweet soy, and Sriracha Aioli.....this is MONEY!

Well, I am old school.
Left over PBBEs, a couple of sunnyside ups, and toast for breakfast sounds like it would hit the spot.

 

[civilsmoker]

Ok I promise I will stop after these two.........
soften them with in a fry pan with a little chicken broth and maple syrup, once caramelized, put them on the plate then put a bit of butter in the same fry pan, drop a a couple of little maters and an sunny side egg.....

Here is the final idea....chop them little, fry in a pan then over home made CI Mac!!!

Or, no pic but over your fav salad......

OK I promise I'll stop after this.....left over pork belly (any kind) is about the most versatile protein for left overs there is!!!

Ok Bear you twisted my arm....the encore.....

Homemade cauliflower cheese (smoked gouda) soup with seared pork belly burnt end pieces & herb focaccia bread sticks!!! Yes it has bacon in it too.......This is SICK GOOD!

 

[Ron’s Pit-A-Full BBQ]

So now I have the PBBE’s ground and mixed with smoked Gouda cheese. I’m gonna make patties and serve it like I would a PP sandwich. Kings Hawaiian Buns, pickles and slaw. I’m torn between grilling them on a charcoal grill or a cast iron pan. Any thoughts?

Thank You for picking out the cheese for me!

You are welcome, that cheese is pure flavor all around!

FYI, I would sear those patties in a CI pan.....I think the CI will sear better than the grill..Man those are going to be flavor town!

CI, the crispy bits were yummy!
