Don't forget that a delicious dish can be prepared only from good ingredients. Choose fresh meat for this recipe. A few tips on how to choose pork belly:

To choose a high-quality pork brisket, look at its slice. Strips of fat and meat should be the same and alternate. The veins of the bacon should be white with a slight pink tinge, and the meat should be pink. The consistency of the product should be homogeneous. If there are dark spots or fat in the yellow brisket, it is better to refuse the purchase.

Pork belly in onion husks is most convenient to cook in the evening. During the night, it will have time to soak and in the morning it will be tender and fragrant. If you are planning a picnic or a family feast, I recommend doing so. A wonderful snack will be guaranteed to you!

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
