Name: Pork Belly Braised in Cumin & Tomato with Charred Scallions
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 85 min
Total time: 100 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb skin-on pork belly, cut into 2-inch cubes; Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 medium onion, halved; 4 cloves garlic, smashed; 3 cloves black garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon ground cumin; ½ teaspoon smoked paprika; 1 can (14 oz) crushed San Marzano tomatoes; ¾ cup chicken or pork broth; 1 bay leaf; 1 sprig fresh thyme; 6 scallions, white and light green parts; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for finishing)

A thick slab of pork belly, seared until golden, then braised low and slow in a fragrant sauce of tomatoes, cumin, garlic, and black garlic until spoon-tender. The meat falls apart with a fork, the sauce clings, and a tangle of charred scallions adds smoke and crunch. Comfort elevated with technique and soul.
