Directions
- Prepare the pork: Remove pork belly from refrigerator (uncovered) 1 to 2 hours before cooking. Pat dry with paper towel.
- Prepare the aromatic paste: In a mortar and pestle or food processor, combine garlic, red onion, and coconut vinegar until it looks like a rough paste.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season the meat side with salt, black pepper, and aromatic paste. Using the back of a heavy knife, bruise the lemongrass stalk to help release the flavor. Place the stalk and the green onions in the center of the pork belly.

This recipe was great! I actually forgot the red onions and lemongrass but substituted lemongrass marinade and shallots! Still turned out delicious!
