Crispy Pork Belly with Garlic
Pane-Bistecca
Crispy pork belly with garlic is cooked the way my mom often made it, so it’s actually typically Italian. Pork belly is a bacon-like meat, very marbled, but very tasty. In Switzerland, this meat is often served in a Bernese platter, together with sausages, potatoes and sauerkraut.
But it gets the most attention in Asia. The Chinese are artists when it comes to pork belly, the Filipinos could serve it up every day, usually deep-fried, and I have to say, they really can! It tastes very good!
