Easy BBQ Pork Belly with Porktopia

Ingredients

• 1–1.5 kg pork belly
• Porktopia BBQ rub, enough to coat generously
• 1 tbsp neutral oil or yellow mustard as a binder
• Apple juice or water for a light spritz
• Your favourite BBQ sauce, optional

Method

1. 1

   Pat the pork belly dry. Lightly coat the meat with oil or mustard, then cover generously with Porktopia on all sides.

2. 2

   Heat your BBQ or smoker for indirect cooking at about 135–150°C. Place the pork belly away from direct flame.

3. 3

   Cook until the outside has developed a deep, tasty bark, spritzing lightly if the surface begins to dry.

4. 4

   Continue cooking until the pork is tender. Cooking time varies with thickness, so use tenderness rather than the clock as your final guide.

5. 5

   Rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Brush with BBQ sauce near the end if you want a sticky finish.
