Not quite enough time in the TD for a cure. Maybe Pookey could extend the TD for those who need to make bacon out of all the pork belly they bought?

latenight cook?!
Yep, cooked and ate it last night. It was really delicious, and fun to cook! Last night was the only time I could squeeze in a cook this weekend, due to my current ruthless work schedule. I'll post the recipe, pics, and final plate, as soon as I get a chance. Now, off to work another 10+ hours.

Pork belly gets cooked fat side up in a 500f degree oven for about 10 minutes(until fat starts to brown and bubble).  The heat is then reduced to 325f for 90 minutes more.  After the 90 minutes add a bottle of beer to the drippings and cook for another hour.  Let cool and then chop.  Shrimp gets cooked in a frying pan for 5 minutes on each side and then chopped.  Combine the pork and shrimp and toss with hot sauce of your choice.  Put some of the potato mixture in your hand, then add a spoonful of the pork and shrimp mixture.  Add more potato and form into a ball.  Roll ball in the cheese cracker powder.  Heat vegetable oil to 350f and then fry the balls for 2-3 minutes each side.  
 
 
Pork and shrimp getting happy.
