Pancetta di maiale al barbecue

Ingredienti

• 4 big cloves garlic (- finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon crushed peppercorn
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup soy sauce

Preparazione

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a big bowl and mix until sugar is dissolved.

2. 2

   Dip each piece of sliced pork belly, covering all sides completely then place them in a plastic freezer bag. Seal and place in the fridge. Let it marinate for a few hours or, better, overnight.

3. 3

   Arrange the marinated pork belly slices on a grill rack and place it on the middle rack of the oven with another baking pan placed below it to catch the drippings.

4. 4

   Bake each side at 180°C for about 20-30 minutes while basting the meat with the remaining marinade every 10 minutes.
