I have about a 2lb. slab of cured and smoked pork belly left over from the last time I made bacon. I want to do something with this ...just not sure what, not interested in burnt ends.... I'm thinking about braising it just not sure how to go about that. Y'all got any idea's??

A pot of beans, split pea soup, a beef and pork chili to add that good smoke flavor from the belly. Just skim the grease that will form when cooking down.

I want to make the belly the main dish. I have plenty of bacon pieces to use for additions and flavoring.

Just saw the end of OPs post.

I’d smoke the pork belly and make it into BBQ

It's already cured and smoked.
I make a lot of bacon...got a slab ready for the smoker tomorrow and another slab curing for 14 days, two more in the freezer. I get plenty of pieces for burn ends and flavoring. Just looking for something a little different. I'll probably try the Crispy oven roasted from Buckeye or go with braising.

Try an Asian hot pot.

Easiest answer is to make tacos or nachos.

I'd probably braise it to make an incredible broth or stew.

Use it as salt meat and cook you up some mustard greens.

'Oh boo hoo hoo, I have too much bacon. What ever am I going to do with it?'

Whatever, dude. Literally anything. You can't go wrong.

Is it too late to make charshu? (Asian bbq pork belly). I don’t know if the smoking and curing would be a detriment to the flavor of that dish.
