Pork belly became quite the trend in the culinary industry over the last decade or so, and it's not going anywhere (and with good reason). With myriad pork belly recipes out there, this one has to be our favorite. Using sous vide to cook our pork belly helps render the fat and denature the proteins before it hits the pan. This tender belly recipe is incomparable to traditional methods. Give it a go—you'll be thanking us later!

In a large bowl, stir the kosher salt and the rosemary together. Rub the salt and rosemary mixture around the entire belly. Allow the belly to cure for 12 hours.
