Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pork belly roll? Prepare your food. It is better to take a part of the carcass from the belly, which contains a sufficient amount of meat, with a small layer of fat. If the piece is very large, it is best to cut it and make 2 or 3 rolls. This will make them easier to prepare. If you have a large pan, you can make one long roll. If necessary, defrost the meat in advance.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut through the meat layers with a sharp knife, but do not cut all the way through. This is necessary so that you can generously coat the inside of the roll with spices.

Step 3

Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine salt, ground black pepper and minced garlic. You can also add some more meat spices of your choice. Stir. Donʼt oversalt; keep in mind that spice mixtures often contain salt.

Step 4

Step 4
Rub dry spices all over the sliced meat. Try to thoroughly rub the spices into the meat.

Step 5

Step 5
Then roll the meat into a roll. Try to roll tightly. Wrap the roll well with thread or twine so that it does not open during cooking.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the roll in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator for a day so that the meat is thoroughly salted.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the salted roll in a large saucepan, add bay leaf and cover with water. Place the pan with the roll on the fire and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid, turn the heat to low and simmer for about 2 hours. If you have a multicooker, you can cook in it. In time, focus on your technique.

Step 8

Step 8
Remove the finished roll from the pan and place in a colander to drain excess liquid and cool slightly. Then put the roll in a bag and put it in the refrigerator overnight. During this time it will completely cool down and become much denser. Cut the roll into pieces, place on a plate and serve. Bon appetit!
