Take the cut of meat from the lower side of the pig and the abdominal area and with a pork belly recipe, you will have a tasty meal. These cuts are thin, juicy slices of meat between the bones. Often it is cured and becomes bacon, but there are many other things to be done with it. This cut of meat is delicious and can be prepared in a variety of ways. It can be slow cooked, braised, roasted or enjoyed Asian style. Here are some dishes not to be missed.

There are numerous ways to prepare this juicy cut of meat. Slow cooked is a good way to prepare it. Slow cook for hours with rosemary and garlic. It is simple but delicious. Or slow cook it with cabbage and potatoes. It's like the kind of dish a grandmother used to make for the family.

Another way to prepare it is Asian style. Dong Po is a Chinese dish which is also slow cooked but with ginger, nutmeg, anise, onion, black sauce, wine, and chicken stock. Rice is good with it. Then there is a good recipe with salted vegetables, soy sauce, garlic, and tomatoes. Lots of good recipes exist of this in traditionally Asian cuisine.

Braised pork belly is a treat. It drips with flavor. There is even a recipe made with beer. It has onions, garlic, sugar and beer. It's rich and succulent to taste but easy to make. It should not be missed.

Many people roast theirs. Everyone loves the crackling areas. One particular recipe is cooked with red onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and spices. The possibilities go on and on.

A pork belly dish would be right for numerous occasions. One obvious occasion is when preparing some family home cooking, especially a holiday meal or for a special occasion. Try instead of ham, to have a tastier alternative for a holiday like Thanksgiving. It is also a fine choice for a Father's Day celebration or for Dad's birthday.

This cut of meat is perfect for other occasions, like a dinner with friends. It could be a quiet evening with your closest friends or a big party bash. To impress your co-workers at a company potluck dinner, serve this with vegetables or rice. People love the juicy meat and the crackling that the cooking creates.

For events with a special theme, like a Hawaiian luau, a pork dish is welcome. If the theme is Asian, one of those tasty recipes on rice would fit the bill. If it's down home cookin' that is the theme, people will be satisfied with a slow cook version. This meat can fit with many different themes.

There are a plethora of possibilities with a meal of pork belly. Terrific recipes exist. Each one has its fans. Some prefer the saltier versions. Others prefer to taste the most succulent parts of this meat. Many people like the crackling the most. There's no doubt that great dishes combine with great events.
