Frequently Asked Questions

What are pork belly chunkies?
Thick-cut pieces of native breed belly, sized for slow cooking: braises, ramen, sticky glazed bites or confit-style roasting. All of the belly's richness without carving a whole joint.
What is the best pork for a curry or stew?
Diced native breed pork, cut from working muscles that hold together and enrich the sauce over a long simmer. Pork shoulder's marbling means it never cooks dry the way lean cuts can.
How do I make sticky slow-cooked belly?
Braise belly chunkies until tender, around two and a half hours, then finish hard: glazed with honey, soy and vinegar in a hot pan or oven until lacquered. Two stages, both nearly hands-off.
Why is slow-cooked pork so forgiving?
Fat and collagen, which native breeds carry in abundance. They baste the meat from within as it cooks, so an extra half hour softens rather than spoils. It is the meat to learn slow cooking on.
