    Wild pork belly - ideas?

    So I've been given a slab of wild pig belly, I'm after some ideas for cooking it. Was frozen, and now defrosting..

    I'm not sure my goto methods for supermarket pork belly will work
    Plus want to try something new
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    Smoke that sucker Beaker.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    There is never a time that fat gets removed from pork before cooking. It may be rendered out through the cooking, but not before.

    Gadgetman may make me look hugely over weight, but he's the only one.
    Plus I enjoy the taste of pig and lamb fat....

    This might be a go for half of it.
    In fact, I'll give a bacon maple salt cure a go, with a hit of smoke.

    Interesting.
    Was given to me 2-3 months ago, and no gangs involved. How did you get to that idea?

    A matchstick wouldn’t even make you look overweight. Last time I saw you, putting on ten kilos would get you up to skinny.

    I turn mine into bacon. Had some this morning with eggs and halloumi. & have just defrosted my last bit of belly to start curing for more bacon. Bloody easy and tastes great. I use the cure and method from the River Cottage meat curing book.

    'Hunger for the Wild' had a great Braised Pork Belly in Apple Cider with mashed kumera/sweetcorn dish.
