👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Pat the pork belly cubes dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the pork belly in batches until browned on all sides. Remove pork and set aside.
- 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and minced scotch bonnet pepper (if using), and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Return the seared pork belly to the pot.
- 5
Add the thyme sprigs and crushed allspice berries. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the pork is mostly submerged. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 hours, or until the pork is very tender.
- 6
Add the sweet potato chunks to the pot. Stir to combine, cover, and continue to simmer for another 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- 7
Remove thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped scallions.
