To prepare a delicious oven-baked pork belly, we start by heating a pan with a little sunflower or olive oil over medium heat. While the oil heats up, we cut the pork belly into slices about 2-3 cm thick. Once the oil is hot, we add the slices of pork belly and brown them on both sides until they develop a golden and crispy color, which will add an intense flavor to our dish. It is important not to overcrowd the pan to allow heat to circulate evenly around the slices. In a large bowl, we combine the remaining ingredients. These may include chopped onion, minced garlic, diced tomatoes, bell pepper, and spices such as salt, pepper, sweet paprika, and oregano. We mix all the ingredients well so that the flavors blend perfectly. This mixture will form the delicious base for our pork belly. After browning the pork belly, we remove it from the pan and let it rest for a while. Next, we pour the vegetable mixture into a heat-resistant dish that has been previously greased with oil to prevent sticking. It is important to use a dish of appropriate size, about 32x22x5 cm, to allow for even cooking. We carefully place the slices of fried pork belly on top of the vegetable mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed. We loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture inside and allow the ingredients to cook in their own juices. We preheat the oven to a temperature of 175 degrees Celsius and then place the dish in the oven. We let the pork belly bake for about 55 minutes or until the meat becomes tender and easily pulls away from the bone. In the last part of cooking, we can remove the aluminum foil to achieve an even crispier crust. Once the dish is ready, we take it out of the oven and let it cool for a bit. Before serving, we sprinkle a little freshly chopped green parsley on top to add a splash of color and freshness. This dish can be served alongside a side of mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables, which will perfectly complement the flavors of the pork belly. Enjoy each serving with pleasure, savoring a delicious and comforting meal!
