While few people ever tire of bacon, if you are looking for a minimally processed alternative, try our pork side meat. Side pork, also called pork belly, comes from the same cut as bacon but is usually sliced thicker and undergoes less processing than bacon. Our cured pork side meat comes in slices or chunks, and the possibilities to incorporate it into your cooking are endless.
Here are four ideas to mix things up with our pork side meat:
- Eggs and belly – Yes, you can fry up pork side meat just as you would bacon! Cook to your desired crispiness.
- Smoked pork side chunks – Apply your favorite dry rub and choice of sauces to chunks of pork meat and smoke on a foil-wrapped disposable pan. Serve them with toothpicks as an appetizer or in a BBQ pork side sandwich. Also, try smoked pork side chunks for a twist on taco night and on nachos.
- Stir fry pork side meat – Pork belly is a staple in many Asian cuisines. Try pork side chunks in a stir fry with your favorite Asian flavors like soy sauce, ginger, chilies, and lemongrass.
- Pork side salad – Try frying up our pork side meat slices like bacon and adding pork side crumbles to your favorite salad.
