Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork belly
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup coconut vinegar
• 0.25 cup water
• 6 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 pieces bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork belly into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut vinegar, and water. Add the pork belly cubes and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. Overnight marination is preferred if time allows.

Step 3

Peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the crushed garlic cloves and sauté until they are golden brown and aromatic, around 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the marinated pork belly to the pan, and increase the heat to medium-high. Sear the pork pieces on all sides until they are well-browned for about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the marinade into the pan, along with bay leaves and whole black peppercorns.

Step 8

Stir in the erythritol sweetener and sea salt to balance the flavors.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan, and let it cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the liquid is reduced to a rich sauce.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning with black pepper to taste. Continue to simmer uncovered for another 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce if necessary.

Step 11

Once cooked, discard the bay leaves and serve the Keto Pork Adobo hot, garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
