Roll of pork belly

Boiled belly roll is a great alternative to sausage. The dish is natural, without preservatives, dyes and other harmful substances. To make such a meat snack, you need to choose fresh pork, namely belly. It is advisable to take thin, as it is much easier to roll it into a roll. It should be pink, with streaks of fat, not sticky and not dried out.

How to cook Roll of pork belly

Step 1

Belly roll

Start preparing the boiled pork belly roll. Place a pot of water on high heat. Add salt. Wait until the water boils. While the water is boiling, prepare the meat. In a bowl, mix the chopped garlic, thyme, and ground black pepper. Rub the pork with the mixture on all sides.

Step 2

Belly roll

Cook the roll. Roll the belly into a roll and tie it with twine. Put the meat in a pot with boiling water. Reduce the heat to minimum and cover with a lid. After 1.5 hours, take the roll out and put it in a bowl. Put a plate on top and press it down with a press, for example, a two-liter bottle of water. Let the roll cool, then put it in the refrigerator. Slice the finished roll thinly.
