Pork belly has become a very trendy cut of meat. It is tender, juicy and ideal for sous vide cooking. The best part about the pork belly you received: it is already slow-cooked to perfection and only requires a quick sear. Pork belly lends itself beautifully to slow cooking, and can be paired with an array of accompaniments. This week, we chose whipped yams and melted red chard. Combining these items gives this dish a warm, southern feel, while incorporating a variety of healthy, fresh ingredients.

2 Cook the Yam
Place the yams in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the yams to a boil over high heat and cook for 7-10 minutes or until the yams are soft and fork tender. Strain the yams. Place the strained yams back in the cooking pot and add the brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and green onions then salt and pepper to taste. Whisk ingredients together until creamy. Cover and reserve for plating.

3 Cook the Pork Belly
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to each side of the pork belly. Heat a sauté pan over medium to high heat. When the pan is nice and hot, sear the skin side of the pork belly first. Flip and cook on the other side after 1-2 minutes. When you have seared each side of the belly, deglaze with ½ cup of water and cover. Turn the heat to low and let slowly simmer for 5 minutes or until the belly is hot throughout.

4 Cook the Red Chard
Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp. oil to the pan. When oil and pan is hot, add the red chard and cook for 2-3 minutes or until melted (wilted).

5 Plate the Dish
Place the yams in the center of the plate. Top the yams with the pork belly. Place the melted chard on the side of the belly. Garnish with green onions.
