Directions
-
Grind spices and mix, in a large bowl, with the salt.
-
Place pork belly in a large ziplock bag and rub the spice mixture all over.
-
With the pork still inside the bag, rub it with garlic and gently pour on the wine, taking care not to rub off the spices.
-
Cure the belly in the fridge for 8-15 days. The salt and spices will penetrate the meat, rendering it firm.
