A Savory Autumn Meal

I could feel my mouth water while reading through this recipe for “fresh bacon”. I’m a huge fan of Top Chef and I’m love trying all things by Tom Colicchio. His recipe made it easy for people who are new to working with pork bellies, like me.
Last weekend, we had to wait about 3 hours to braise the pork belly, but I thought it was worth the wait. The smoky, savory pork meat stayed nice and juicy thanks to its cocoon of belly fat. We picked up these belly pieces from the grocery store. I wonder if we could have gotten more belly meat at a butcher’s shop. Maybe next time.
