WATERMELON PORK BELLY BITES

Literally my favvvvv snack / dinner / lunch!!!

These are inspired by a local restaurant here in Alabama and whew boy - I did a damn good copycat recipe! This is definitely a summer staple, but honestly they’re good all year long! The key honestly is in how you marinate the pork belly - and I definitely suggest letting them sit for at least 4 hours , but you can also make this on the fly and they are still delicious!!

Marinade ingredients: (measure with your heart okay!)

• Soy sauce

• Sriracha

• Japanese BBQ

• garlic ( powder works fine but I chop up fresh)

* this is an air fryer recipe but you can easily cook and crisp the pork belly on the stove in a pan*

Cook in air fryer on 400 degrees for around 20 minutes or until they reach desired crisp ! Just be sure they reach an internal temperature of 160 to ensure you have safely cooked them enough!

Heres how I build this dish:

• Watermelon 🍉 diced into bite sizes big enough for the pork belly pieces

• Place the pork belly on top of watermelon pieces

• Top with green onion 🧅 & crumbled feta cheese 🧀 (goat cheese crumbles are also 10/10)

• Drizzle with balsamic glaze

If you love pork belly , you will LOVE this recipe!! Let me know if you guys try it!!!

... Read moreSummer is the ideal season to enjoy fresh and vibrant dishes, and these watermelon pork belly bites are no exception. This unique combination of sweet watermelon and savory pork belly creates an explosion of flavors that is sure to impress your guests. Pork belly is known for its rich and succulent taste, and when marinated, it becomes even more flavorful. For a quick marinade, combine soy sauce, sriracha, and a touch of Japanese BBQ sauce with minced garlic. Marinating for at least four hours enhances the flavors significantly, but even a brief marinade can yield satisfying results. Using an air fryer to prepare these bites not only reduces the amount of oil needed but also helps achieve that desirable crispiness. Cook them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for around 20 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit for safe consumption. To assemble the dish, cut fresh watermelon into bite-sized pieces. Lay the cooked pork belly atop the watermelon and finish with sliced green onions and crumbled feta cheese for added texture and flavor. A drizzle of balsamic glaze can elevate the entire dish, bringing everything together beautifully. Whether for a summer barbecue or a casual dinner at home, these watermelon pork belly bites are a perfect blend of sweet and savory, making them a must-try recipe for any food lover.
