Ingredients: 1 lb pork belly, skin-on, cut into 2 large chunks; 1 medium onion, roughly chopped; 3 garlic cloves, smashed; 1 red bell pepper, roughly chopped; 1 tablespoon ají panca paste; ½ cup fresh maíz morado (purple corn) kernels, or regular corn; 1 cup pork or chicken stock; ½ cup dry white wine or apple cider; 2 bay leaves; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; 2 tablespoons olive oil; sea salt and cracked pepper; fresh cilantro and lime wedges for serving

Thick-cut pork belly seared until the skin crisps, then braised low and slow in a fragrant sofrito laced with purple corn and stock. The result is luxuriously tender meat with crispy edges, swimming in a rich, complex sauce. This is weekend cooking—confident and unmistakably special.
