Rich Parente recommends against placing raw pork belly directly in the oven without treatment. This leads to excessive fat rendering and can turn the meat leathery.
To properly prepare pork belly, it's essential to treat it beforehand or opt for a low-and-slow cooking method like oven braising, which locks in moisture.
Oven braising utilizes liquid to maintain moisture and create a flavorful sauce. Starting with browning on the stove enhances the dish's depth and flavor.
