Jerk Pork Belly Bites Recipe

Step 1

Cut pork belly into large cubes. Place cubes into a large zip top bag or container and cover with Jerk Marinade (*recipe below). Toss cubes in marinade to cover and refrigerate for 6 hours up to overnight.

Step 2

Prepare Traeger pellet grill or other smoker for indirect cooking at 250 degrees using your favorite wood for smoke flavor.

Step 3

Remove the pork belly cubes from the marinade and place on greased wire cooling racks. Use multiple racks if necessary. Place the racks on the Traeger Grill and smoke for 3 hours.

Step 4

Transfer the pork belly cubes into a large aluminum food service pan, top with brown sugar and jerk sauce (*recipe below). Toss the cubes in the brown sugar/sauce mixture and cover the pan with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Place the pan back on the pit and continue to cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hrs. Remove the foil and cook for 1 additional hour uncovered to reduce and caramelize the sauce.

Step 6

Carefully remove the pan from the pit once the sauce has thickened and the pork belly bites have a deep mahogany color. Serve immediately.
