Ingredients:
3 pounds pork belly, sliced into 1-inch cubes |
1/2 cup salt, plus more for seasoning |
peanut oil, for frying |
black pepper |
1 cup mayonnaise |
6 tablespoons maple syrup |
six 6-inch french baguettes, halved horizontally and toasted |
louisiana-style hot sauce, for spreading |
2 cups chopped lettuce |
1 cup sliced dill pickles |
Directions:
1. Fully submerge the pork belly in a pot of water, add the salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the pork belly is flaky and tender, 3 to 4 hours. Turn off the heat and drain.
2. Heat peanut oil in a fryer or large pot to 350 degrees F. Gently place handfuls of the rendered pork belly into the fryer until golden crispiness, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper.
3. Mix the mayonnaise and maple syrup in a bowl. Spread a hefty portion onto the bottom baguette halves, followed by a little squirt of the hot sauce. Top with a handful of chopped lettuce, a couple slices of dill pickles and the fried pork belly. Finish with another heavy drizzle of the mayonnaise-maple mixture. Enjoy!
