What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 pinch grated nutmeg
  • 1 dash red pepper flakes
  • 7 small juniper berries
  • 6 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 6 pounds pork belly, skin off
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1/4 cup St. Francis logo cabernet
Directions
  1. Grind spices and mix, in a large bowl, with the salt.
  2. Place pork belly in a large ziplock bag and rub the spice mixture all over.
  3. 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.
  4. Cure the belly in the fridge for 8-15 days. The salt and spices will penetrate the meat, rendering it firm.

Definitely on my "must do it soon" list. Sounds like a great recipe using Cabernet from my neighbor over in the "other" valley!
