Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook pork belly in onion skins? Prepare everything you need for this. Onion peel is very light, almost weightless. Therefore, 1-2 handfuls will be enough. The more onion peel there is, the richer the color of the finished brisket.

Step 2

Step 2
Choose a brisket that has more meat. I came across a perfect layer of meat with lard. Rinse the brisket in running water and cut into 2-3 pieces. Make the pieces of such a size that they can fit into the selected pan.

Step 3

Step 3
Rinse the onion peels several times in water to remove any dust that may be on the bulbs. For cooking, choose a dark pan, since light onion skins will be very difficult to wash off. Place the onion skins in your chosen pan and cover with cold water. Add salt and peppercorns. Place the pan on the fire and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the garlic and cut into pieces. Add chopped garlic to the pan.

Step 5

Step 5
Then place the prepared brisket in the onion broth and return to the heat. The brisket should be completely submerged in water. You can add a little water. We immerse the brisket in boiling water so that during cooking, all the juices from the piece do not leak into the broth. The meat is, as it were, immediately sealed in hot water. Bring everything to a boil and cook over low heat for 1-1.5 hours. Cooking time will depend on the size of the pieces.

Step 6

Step 6
Leave the finished brisket to cool in the onion broth. Then remove the cooled brisket to a paper towel to blot off excess moisture. Then wrap in cling film and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Step 7

Step 7
The pork belly is ready! It turns out to be an appetizing color and taste. It can be served on a holiday table as a meat snack, or you can simply make sandwiches with it. Bon appetit!
