How to make Pork Humba

To make Pork Humba, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 pounds of pork belly, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups of pineapple juice

  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

To prepare the dish, start by heating some cooking oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork belly and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the pork belly from the pot and set it aside.

Next, add the garlic, onion, bay leaves, and black peppercorns to the pot and cook until the onions are translucent. Then, add the pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, and salted black beans to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once the mixture is boiling, add the pork belly back to the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the pork belly simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until it is tender and the sauce has thickened.

When the pork belly is done, remove it from the pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, slice the pork belly into bite-sized pieces and serve it with rice. The sauce from the pot can be spooned over the pork and rice for added flavor.
