Ingredients
- 1 lb pork belly or pork fatback, skin on
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Cut pork belly into 1-inch cubes, leaving skin attached.
- In a bowl, toss pork cubes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place pork cubes in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Add water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pork is tender and most water has evaporated.
- Uncover, increase heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until pork cubes are golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- Grattons can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of cayenne for extra flavor.
