Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to cook pork belly in onion husk? Prepare everything you need for this. Onion husks are very light, almost weightless. Therefore, 1-2 handfuls will be enough. The more onion husks there are, the richer the color of the finished brisket will be.
Step 2:
Choose the brisket so that there is more meat. I came across the perfect layer of meat with lard. Rinse the brisket in running water and cut into 2-3 pieces. Make the pieces of such a size that they can fit into the selected pan.
Step 3:
Wash the onion husks several times in water to wash off all the dust that could be on the bulbs. For cooking, choose a dark saucepan, since it will be very difficult to wash the light one from the onion husks. Place the onion husks in the selected saucepan and fill with cold water. Add salt and pepper peas. put the pan on the fire and bring to a boil.
Step 4:
Peel the garlic and cut into pieces. Add the chopped garlic to the pan.
Step 5:
Then place the prepared brisket in the onion broth and return to the fire. The brisket should be completely immersed in water. A little water can be added. We lower the brisket into boiling water so that when cooking, all the juices from the piece do not come out into the broth. The meat, as it were, is immediately sealed in hot water. Bring everything to a boil and cook over low heat for 1-1.5 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of the pieces.
Step 6:
Leave the finished brisket to cool in onion broth. Then remove the cooled brisket on a paper towel to blot out excess moisture. Then wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
Step 7:
Pork belly is ready! It turns out an appetizing color and taste. It can be served on a festive table as a meat snack or just make sandwiches with it. Enjoy your meal!
For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
