Ingredients
- 2 lices pork belly long and thick, Note 1
- 4 lices sourdough bread Note 2
Spices:
- ⅛ teaspoon sweet paprika powder
- ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika powder
- ⅛ garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt or Kosher
- good pinch black pepper
- 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce your favorite
Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove large
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon grainy sweet mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Fine sea salt and black pepper to taste
Vegetables:
- handful rocket leaves
- 2 tomatoes small-medium
- 1 red onion small-medium
Instructions
- Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, grated garlic, Dijon and sweet mustard, and honey in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Vegetables: Wash and dry the rocket leaves and remove any excessively long stems. Cut the onions and the tomatoes into thicker slices.
- Bread: Cut four finger-thick slices of bread.
- Pork belly: Rub the meat with the spices. Cook in a hot skillet for 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on their thickness. Flip the slices a few times in between using tongs.
- Glaze pork: Brush the slices with BBQ sauce during the last 2 minutes of the cooking time. Flip them repeatedly during this time, brushing them with more sauce every time you turn them.
Cup of Yum
Assemble sandwiches:
- Slather two bread slices thickly with the mayonnaise mixture and two slices (the upper ones) only thinly. Place the thickly slathered slices on the working surface.
- Cut the belly slices in half and arrange two halves on each of these two bread slices.
- Top with rocket, tomato, and red onion slices.
- Cover with the thinly slathered bread pieces. Serve immediately.
Notes
- About ½ inch/ 1 ½ cm thick and 7 inches/ 18 cm long. Remove the skin if it’s still on.
- Crusty ciabatta, panini bread, crusty sandwich rolls, rye, whole wheat, or spelt bread are all good.
