Mami's Crunchy Chicharrones

I'm finally able to share my mom's chicharrones recipe. As a Colombian, chicharrones are a part of my mother's culture.

What I feel makes these healthier is the fact that they're baked skin side up.

Ingredients 

– Skin-on pork belly – Salt – Cuban mojo – Baking soda – Lime

STEP 1

Slice the porkbelly into 1 ½ inch strips.

STEP 2

Place the pork belly pieces, skin side down on a work surface then make 1 inch crosswise cuts on each piece.

STEP 3

Place the strips into a bowl and rinse them with water. Drain the water and add the mojo and salt.

STEP 4

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Place the strips skin side up on baking rack inside of a baking sheet.

STEP 5

In a small bowl mix the juice from your lime and baking soda. Using a kitchen brush, brush the lime mixture over all of the skin.
