Lechon Liempo (Filipino-style Roasted Pork Belly)

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons pepper black freshly ground
• 10 servings canned tomatoes split
• 2 tablespoons garlic minced
• 10 servings disposable grill pan 
• 4 tablespoons olive oil 
• 1  bacon 
• 5 lb pork belly 
• 2 tablespoons salt 
• 1 tablespoon vinegar white

Equipment

• bowl
• frying pan
• whisk
• grill
• kitchen thermometer
• aluminum foil
• cutting board
• kitchen twine

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, garlic, salt, vinegar, and black pepper.
2. Lay pork belly on a cutting board skin-side down. Score flesh diagonally about every 2-inches. Repeat in opposite direction, creating a diamond pattern.
3. Spread garlic mixture evenly all over flesh.
4. Roll pork into a cylinder and tie tightly with butcher twine about every inch.
5. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on either side of the charcoal grate and place a foil pan between the two piles of coals. Cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Run spit of the rotisserie through middle of pork and secure ends with rotisserie forks.
6. Place on the rotisserie, cover, and cook at medium heat until skin has darkened and crisped and pork registers 160ºF when an instant read thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat, about 3 hours, replenishing coals to maintain temperature as needed.
7. Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
8. Remove spit, slice, and serve.
