Pork Belly Recipe from Lidl Treats

Posted by: jean in: Main Meals | Recipes

lidl-treats-blogThe excellent Lidl Treats blog has published a recipe for Roast Pork Belly with Caramelised Onion Gravy. Pork belly is a cheap but tasty cut of meat, and I think I’ll have to give this recipe a try. I don’t eat a huge amount of meat so am interested in learning a bit more about the lesser-used cuts.

Anyone have any other recommendations for cheap cuts that I can pick up in my local butcher?

any of the cuts from the front of the animal like shoulders and giggot (of any animal)for chaep and tasty beef try cheek, tail and bavette(this is the tough skirt steak protecting the diaphram) all these take care with slow roasting or braising also if you can get lamb breast trim the fat up, roll the meat in whatever spice seasonng and confit in lamb fat(fat is also very cheap to but processed or free tif you render it yourself another very easy procedure

Folks, I would greatly appreciate recipes for Pork Belly cut to be cooked in my slow cooker. I find that all meats, and especially the cheaper, more economical cuts, are ideally suited to the slow cooker method! Any and all advice would be well received. Many thanks!
