Zaatar Catalan Pork Belly

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, garlic, yellow onion so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fresh ginger and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the pork belly and let it zaatar, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the cocoa powder along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Taste and adjust, then finish with cracked black pepper right before serving.
6. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
