Thanks for the suggestion C. (and congrats with your Apple TV) No ingredients for a glaze in the house so decided to do what I was going to do with the belly.

Simply put it in the pressure cooker for a bit and then cut it into steak slices. Pan fried them to give them some colour and texture. Served with a pea puree.

Was yummy.

How so you make that puree?

It looks almost better than the meat for being so colourful.

I have to say that this is currently our favourite "side dish".

Really easy. I take frozen peas and boil them in salted water for about 5min. Drain the water and back into the pot. Add a chunk of butter and a splash of milk and a bit of cayenne pepper.

Then let your stick blender go at it. Here you can go as far as you like. Wife likes ours super smooth so it takes a while and maybe another splash of milk or 2 if it is too thick. Personally I would leave some small little chunks in it for a more chunky mash texture if I was just making it for myself.

Salt and pepper to taste. And I add the equivalent of 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar (I use my own homemade liquid sweetener) to the mixture as well. Peas can tend to be a bit bitter so the minimal sugar just breaks through that for us.
