Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork belly slices
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, chopped onion, ground black pepper, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and lemon juice to make the marinade.
Place the pork belly slices into the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the marinated pork belly from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling.
Grill the pork belly slices for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely charred and cooked through.
Baste occasionally with the remaining marinade to keep the meat moist and flavorful during grilling.
Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled BBQ liempo with your favorite sides such as steamed rice or grilled vegetables.
