Crispy Pork Belly & Pickled Cucumber Naan Wraps
A decadent fusion dish featuring succulent pork belly and salty bacon paired with bright, tangy pickled cucumbers on warm, soft naan.
Ingredients
- 12 oz Pork belly, sliced into 1/2-inch thick strips
- 4 slices Bacon, chopped
- 1 large Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 pieces Naan
- 1/4 cup Vinegar (apple cider or white)
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt (divided)
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Oil (if needed)
Instructions
Sear the pork in bacon fat to maximize richness, using the cucumbers to cut through the savory intensity.
- In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add the sliced cucumbers and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Place chopped bacon in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium. Fry until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add pork belly strips to the skillet. Fry for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the edges are golden and crispy. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Warm the naan in a dry pan or oven until soft and pliable.
- Lay the pork belly strips on the naan, top with the crispy bacon bits, and finish with a generous layer of the pickled cucumbers.
Serve warm with an extra sprinkle of black pepper or a dash of hot sauce for heat.
