Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork belly
• 1 cup Coconut aminos
• 1 cup Bone broth or chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Raw honey
• 4 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 4 whole Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil

Directions

Step 1

Lay the pork belly slab on a cutting board. Using kitchen twine, tie up the pork belly at 1-inch intervals lengthwise to help keep its shape during cooking.

Step 2

Heat the avocado oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly and sear on each side until it is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Once seared, remove the pork belly from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the coconut aminos, bone broth, and raw honey. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Peel and smash the garlic cloves. Add them to the pot along with the sea salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Slice the ginger into thin rounds and add those to the pot as well.

Step 7

Tie the green onions into a knot (to make them easier to remove later) and add them to the pot.

Step 8

Bring the liquid to a simmer, then carefully return the seared pork belly to the pot.

Step 9

Cover and reduce heat to low, allowing the pork to cook slowly for approximately 2 hours or until it is very tender.

Step 10

Rotate the pork every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board.

Step 12

Slice the pork belly into thin rounds and serve with a drizzle of the cooking sauce on top.
