INGREDIENTS

We smashed our love of porchetta together with this classic Thai dish and created an absolute stunner! The crispy pork belly matches perfectly with the red curry and green peppercorns, not too spicy, fresh and spicy but not overly hot!

Curry

1 can coconut cream

Tin red curry paste (Maesri brand is the best)

3 tbsp fish sauce (can substitute Vegan Fish Sauce)

2 tbsp palm sugar

2 tsp crushed chilli (make this curry as mild or hot as you want!)

1 can coconut milk ½ head of broccoli (cut into pieces)

60g fresh green peppercorns (many Asian grocers have these in a jar with salt water)

15 kaffir lime leaves Crispy Pork Belly - 20cm rolled pork loin (skin on – tied)

p> 1 cup salt

 

Crispy Pork

Belly 20cm rolled pork loin (skin on – tied)

1 cup salt

Method:

Crispy Pork Belly – Takes 2 days

  • Most rolled pork belly comes scored with a knife already, if it’s not, score it yourself every 2cm.
  • Poke 1,000 tiny holes into the pork belly skin.
  • Cover skin with heavy layer of salt.
  • Onto wire rack in a pan.
  • Dry overnight in fridge (make sure there’s plenty of air circulation around it).
  • Fire up chimney of lump charcoal.
  • Set up BigPig with rotisserie attachment.
  • Fill top basket with hot lump charcoal.
  • Thread pork onto Ozpig rotisserie rod and spear with both forks so it’s secure.
  • Cook over raging lump charcoal until skin crackles (15mins approx.)
  • Remove ¾ of the lump charcoal (put it inside the BigPig).
  • The remaining charcoal will continue to cook the pork without burning the crackling.
  • Once internal 185F, rest pork on bench for 5mins.
  • Slice into inch thick strips.
  • Chop pork belly into inch cubes.

Red Curry

  • Wok onto BigPig and heat ¼ cup coconut cream until cream starts to separate.
  • Make sure you stir the cream if it goes darker to avoid it burning.
  • Add curry paste and stir well.
  • Add chilli and broccoli.
  • Once curry paste is fragrant, add fish sauce and palm sugar. Stir for 1minutes.
  • Add pork, peppercorns (break them into smaller chunks about a matchstick in length and lime leaves.
  • Add remaining coconut cream and coconut milk.
  • Stir for another 5 minutes until well combined.
  • Taste curry and add more sugar (for sweetness) or fish sauce (for saltiness/umami).
  • Serve rice freshly steamed jasmine rice and roti bread.
  • Handy Hint: This dish is best served straight away whilst the pork belly is still crispy, although eating it the next day is just as tasty!

Great bit of kit

We have the ozpig series 2 under a patio. Only just bought the house and the pig so we haven't got it in a specific final spot just yet. But having these extra offset and pieces helps keep smell and smoke (not that there is much using nice ironbark) definitely recommend this kit for use under a patio. Plus fast and easy postage made buying them easy as. 5 Stars

Series 2 - a genuine belter!

Series 2 - a genuine belter! Loving my series 2! During my "burning in" tests it really does belt out some heat, one of the primary reasons for the purchase. Guaging heat, I've cooked a couple of hamburgers and some stove top coffee all with great success. My only suggestion is when you've finally decided to treat yourself to a piggy, super treat yourself and get as many of the accessories as you want at the same time. You'll want to use em and I guarantee you'll go back and buy them anyway. No sell, thats a fact, so go the full hog! (thats a pun) Great service, fast post and I'm genuinely looking forward to the colder weather kicking in.

Exactly what I was looking for

- I was looking for something wood-fired and portable that I could take anywhere to boil water and cook a meal on and that could also be my home BBQ. The Pig is simpler and safer than a camp fire and a great back-up at home if everything goes down. I’ve only done BBQs so far and I’m enjoying the added wood-smoke taste. Looking forward to cooking more sophisticated meals down the track.

Big pig - loving it

We love our big pig . It’s so beautiful to sit around having the large opening and we are loving the smoker having started making beef jerky . We had a baby pig but this one is hands down the best
