    its not something that you can just rustle up. a good pork belly confit takes days rather then hours. first you have to soak it overnight in a flavored brine, then you slow cook it for a few hours in fat, then cool it and press it under some weight, then portion it and pan fry till crispy, then start licking your lips and enjoy. well worth the effort.
