Ingredients

• 1 pound pork belly
• 1 medium apple
• 2 cups cabbage
• 1 medium carrots
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

2. 2

   While the smoker is heating, prepare the pork belly. Cut the pork belly into 1-inch cubes.

3. 3

   In a bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork belly cubes.

4. 4

   Place the seasoned pork belly cubes on a smoker rack. Smoke the pork belly for about 2 to 3 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C) and are tender.

5. 5

   While the pork belly is smoking, prepare the apple slaw. Thinly slice the cabbage and grate the carrot. Dice the apple into small pieces.

6. 6

   In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, and apple. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, honey, and olive oil.

7. 7

   Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss to combine. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

8. 8

   Once the pork belly is done smoking, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Serve the smoked pork belly bites warm, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, alongside the apple slaw.
