Braised Pork Belly
This recipe is from the book Good Food New Zealand Style and I am posting it to go in the Spring 2009 Cook Book Swap Favourite Recipes... however, I would like to add it is actually Autumn in New Zealand ... or Fall as you would say in America! I have made this, and the pork was meltingly tender and very flavourful. I really loved it.
