The fatty pork belly is the celebrated pork cut from which the bacon is prepared. Only this time, we simply want to cook this delicious and popular cut. And we’ll do that by braising it. So, the first step is searing the pork in olive oil and the second is baking it covered at medium temperature. We’ll further flavor the meat in step two by cooking it with thyme, red onion, and apple. Step three: enjoy!
