Hi there, guys!
This is my take on the absolutely mouthwatering recipe by Jess Pryles, the one and only!
What you will need:
- 3-4 lb pork belly, skin off, cut into 3-4cm (1 ½") cubes.
- Your favourite BBQ rub - I used a rub with a bit of cherry sweetness in it, e.g. Three Little Pigs Touch of Cherry.
- about 1 cup your favourite BBQ sauce - this time I used Stubbs.
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp honey - I don't like honey so I use dates syrup. Works a charm!
- 3-4 oz unsalted butter - well, just... because butter! :D
Real easy to do:
1. Season the pork belly cubes with the rub and smoke open on 115C (240F) for about 2 hours. I use a cooling rack to transfer the cubes in one go to the smoker, otherwise going one by one is going to bring that heat in your smoker to a spike.
2. Take the pork off the smoker and put it in a large aluminium disposable pan. Mix the BBQ sauce, sicken stock and honey in a bowl until combined and pour over the pork to coat well. Put few butter knobs on top, cover tightly with foil and return to the smoker for another 2 hours or so. You can leave it longer - it's just going to get more tender.
3. Uncover and keep cooking for another hour to reduce and thicken that sauce.
