Pork Belly Cracklings
Ingredients:
pork, fresh, loin, tenderloin, separable lean only, raw
oil, corn, peanut, and olive
salt, table
spices, pepper, red or cayenne
spices, paprika
spices, pepper, black
spices, pepper, black
spices, chili powder
spices, garlic powder
Directions:
Using a utility knife, razor blade or sharp knife, score skin into 1 1/2-inch squares, then use score marks as guides to cut through meat and fat underneath, resulting in 1 1/2-inch cubes.
Pour oil into a pot deep enough that top of oil is at least 6 inches from rim; place over medium-high heat.
When oil reaches 225 degrees on a deep-fat frying thermometer, add pork cubes and immediately stir gently to prevent clumping.
Cook pork until it is lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Remove to a plate lined with paper towels and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine spices in a small bowl.
Reheat oil to 400 or 425 degrees and add pork again.
Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until skin cracks or bubbles up.
Remove cubes to a plate lined with fresh paper towels.
After a minute put cracklings in a bowl, toss with spice mix and kosher salt, and serve.
