has anyone cooked pork belly with harissa?

[MaMaLa321]

I've got the meat, and I think the 2 should go well together in a slow roast. Has anyone tried it?

Sounds good, I think it'll work. Here's another tasty pork belly recipe I got from another post on Mumsnet. Can't remember who so can't credit them though.

Taiwanese Slow Cooked Pork Belly.
For thrift, I buy a small belly joint and slice thickly. 4 or 6 pieces.
1 tsp five spice mix.
2 sliced garlic cloves or 1 tsp granules.
2 tbl spoons light soy sauce.
15g root ginger in match sticks or 1 tsp powdered ginger.
1 tbsp rice vinegar.
2 tbl spoons hoisin sauce.
(original recipe called for chilli and a star anise, I don't like these so don't add them.)
150ml boiling water.
Basmati rice for serving.
Peanuts for serving.
Salt, a pinch.

Heat up your slow cooker on high. 20 mins.
Dust the five-spice and salt over the raw sliced pork to coat.
Place in hot slow-cooker with fat side against the side of the pot.
Shake over the ginger, garlic, splash in the soy, rice vinegar and hoisin. (if you like the chilli and anise, add now)
Pour 150ml boiling water in the middle of the pork slices.
Lid on, slide the handle of a tea spoon under the lid to give a small steam vent.
Turn down to Low heat.
Leave alone for 2 hours. Check. Maybe turn the pork over if you wish.
Leave another hour, the sauce should be reduced by now and the meat browned.
Cook your rice.
Crush peanuts in a bag then dry fry to toast them.
I like long, fine green beans and salad on the side.
Serve up and sprinkle with nuts.

Sounds like an interesting combo.

I'm always looking for something different to use on pork - would never have thought of harissa as it comes from non-pork eating countries.

I haven’t (yet) but it sounds worth a try.
