Sweet Potato Pork Belly Hash Recipes

Steps:

• For the jerk rub: Combine the coriander, ginger, sugar, garlic and onion powders, salt, habanero powder, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, cloves and black pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the rub for the pork belly. Reserve remaining rub in an airtight container for another use.
• For the hash: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Sprinkle the pork belly generously with salt and black pepper and place in a medium high-sided saute pan with a lid. Add the stock, cilantro sprigs and smashed garlic and bring to a simmer. Cover with the lid and transfer to the oven. Let the pork belly braise until really tender, about 2 hours 30 minutes. Uncover and let it cool to room temperature in the stock. Remove the pork, pat it dry and put it in a large shallow bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic and place another bowl on top with a can of beans or tomatoes to weight it down. Chill for 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Remove the pork belly from the refrigerator and remove the skin. Cut the pork into 1/2-inch cubes. Toss the cubes in the 2 tablespoons jerk rub. Heat a few tablespoons of canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon to a plated lined with paper towels.
• Add the onion, red pepper and poblano to the pork drippings in the pan and cook until soft. Add the chopped garlic and cilantro and cook for another minute. Add the sweet potatoes and more oil if needed. Season with salt and black pepper and cook the potatoes, pressing firmly with a spatula, until they are deep golden brown on the bottom. Add the pork, turn the potatoes and cook, pressing with the spatula, to brown the other side of the potatoes and heat the pork.
• Heat the butter in a nonstick or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Fry until the edges begin to set and the yolk is slightly firm. Flip them over and cook for another minute longer. Or, instead of flipping, cover the eggs with a lid for 1 to 2 minutes to "baste"; the yolk should still be runny. Divide the hash among 4 plates and top each with an egg. Drizzle with hot sauce and garnish with more cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, puncture with a fork, and roast until tender but still slightly underdone, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Peel and cut into 1-inch cubes; set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions and peppers and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the diced sweet potatoes and some salt and pepper; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat to low and stir in the spinach.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and fry the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Spoon the hash onto four plates and top each serving with a fried egg. Garnish with basil and Parmesan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°F. Season pork belly generously with salt and pepper. Place in a large ovenproof saucepan. Add thyme and garlic. Pour stock over. Bring to a simmer over low heat, cover tightly, and braise in oven until tender, about 3 hours. Uncover; let cool. Transfer pork belly to a 9" glass pie dish. Place another 9" glass pie dish on top of pork belly. Weight with a 15-ounce canned good. Chill overnight.
• Remove skin from pork belly. Cut meat into 1/2" cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and sauté until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pork to a medium bowl. Season potatoes with salt and pepper. Add to same skillet; sauté until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl with pork. Add 2 tablespoons oil and shallots to skillet; sauté over medium heat until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Return potatoes and pork with any accumulated juices to pan. Drizzle vinegar and syrup over; stir to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve with poached eggs if desired.

Steps:

• Place the sliced potatoes, 1 1/2 cups water, onions, and juice from pork roast in a 12" nonstick skillet.
• Bring to a boil, cover, and boil over medium heat for 10 minutes.
• Add garlic, scallions, olive oil, Tabasco, salt, Worcestershire and pork.
• Mix well and cook, uncovered, over high heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes.
• Most of the moisture will have evaporated by now and the mixture should be starting to sizzle. Since the hash will begin to stick at this point, use a heat-resistant spatula to scrape up the crusty bits sticking to the bottom of the pan and stir them into the uncooked mixture.
• Continue to cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes.
• The mixture will brown faster in the last 10 minutes of cooking and should be stirred every 2-3 minutes.
• Turn out onto a large platter (or just bring the skillet to the table) and serve immediately.
• Garnish with fried egg on top, if desired.
