Beaurivage pork belly (Quebec)

Quebec Beaurivage pork belly

For foodies, epicureans and connoisseurs who like to take their time in order to do things right, we present you with a brand new challenge! Pork belly is widely known as bacon, the same bacon that you can find in many different types of cuisine. And yet, pork belly is so much more. As you may guess it is located on the belly of the pig and can be turned into ribs, lard, a braisé, and of course that famous bacon that everyone loves so much. The secret of preparing pork belly is...time. First, it is important to brine this fatty meat for several hours, so that it can absorb all the flavors and aromas it deserves. As to the cooking, a low temperature is preferable as it will preserve the collagen and allow the fat to become gentle and tender. Once cooked, let the meat cool down before integrating into a recipe of your choice.
