Instructions

MAKE AHEAD: Briefly rinse 2 pounds pork belly under running water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the meat into 1 ½-2 inch pieces. Peel and roughly chop 2 medium onions. Peel and mince 5 cloves garlic.
Put the meat with the onion and garlic on a baking tray with higher rims and sprinkle it with ½ Tablespoon salt, 1 Tablespoon caraway seeds, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Use your hands to rub the meat until it is seasoned on all sides with the spices.
Fill the baking tin with 1 cup water.
Preheat oven to 350 °F, upper and lower heat. Put the baking tray with the meat in the oven and bake for an hour and a half. Every twenty minutes or so, baste the pork with the hot juices and flip it over.

Notes

SERVING:
The basic recipe makes about 4 portions.
SERVING: Serve roasted pieces of pork belly on a plate with potato dumplings as a side dish. It is always good to balance out a fatty meal with some vegetables – creamed spinach or sweet and sour cabbage will suitably complement the dish.
When served, pour some of the cooking liquid from the bottom of the baking tin over the meat and part of the dumplings. You will still see the bits of soft onion and garlic in the juice.
STORAGE: Let the meat cool completely and then store it covered in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to five days. Roasted pork is not very good for freezing as it contains a higher amount of fat.
