This recipe is from our 3 Day Sample as displayed on our Meals Plans for Diet & Nutrition.

  • 454 gms Pork Belly (strips)
  • 6 gms Sea Salt (divided)
  • 1 head Cauliflower (finely chopped or grated)
  • 1 stalk Celery (sliced)
  • 900 mgs Dried Chives

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the pork belly in the boiling water skin side down for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  2. Set the pork belly on a plate. Using a fork, pierce the pork belly skin and pat dry. Season with half the salt.
  3. Heat a pan or skillet over medium heat and cook the pork belly strips for 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and browned. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into pieces.
  4. Using the same pan or skillet, cook the cauliflower and celery over medium-high heat for 3 to 5minutes or until warmed through. Add the chopped pork belly and season with the remaining salt and chives.
  5. Divide into bowls. Enjoy!
  6. No Cauliflower? Use white rice, brown rice, couscous, quinoa, barley or rice noodles instead.

    No Pork Belly? Use bacon or ground pork instead.

    Make It Vegan – Use tempeh, tofu, vegan bacon or vegan sausage instead of pork belly.

    Leftovers – Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.

    Save Time – Many grocery stores carry pre-riced cauliflower in the bag. Look for it in the fresh, pre-sliced vegetable section or frozen vegetable section.
