Slow-Roasted Spiced Pork Belly




The skin is crisp and crackly as the pork receives an initial high temperature hit in the oven before it's turned way down to allow the fat to render out and transform the meat into something succulent and obscenely tender. Slow does indeed mean slow as this will take at least 2 hours to reach perfection.Matisse is now serving this winter dish

Chef Tonys latest creation 10-hour braised Texas pork belly


Chef Tonys latest creation 10-hour braised Texas pork belly
10-hour braised Texas pork belly with ragout of cauliflower, wood ear mushroom and English peas and fondue broth. The pork belly is decadently rich, in taste and texture reminiscent of bacon and the tenderest pot roast you can imagine. Matisse Belmar NJ
