3. Stir honey into reserved hoisin mixture.

4. Remove pork chops from marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat on a large grill pan fitted to stove top. Grill each side for a couple minutes to caramelize and create grill marks. Using a basting brush, baste with reserved honey hoisin sauce.

CITRUS CURED PORK BELLY

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine all ingredients for the cure in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Rub cure on the pork belly, marinade pork belly over night.

2. I don’t like to fully rinse the cure off under water, i like to wipe some of the cure off with a damp towel and allow some of the cure to remain on the pork belly. I then place the pork on a large sheet pan with a roasting rack. Roast on high heat (425 degrees) for 15 to 25 minutes, until the outside of the pork has a golden color. I then remove the pork from the oven and allow to cool to about 300 degrees, place pork back in and cook for another 1.5 to 2 hours.

3. Allow the pork to cool and cut the pork into large chunks.
