Crispy Honey Glazed Lamb Belly
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs lamb belly, skin on
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Score the skin of the lamb belly with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season the lamb belly with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, rubbing it into the skin and meat.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the honey glaze.
- Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb belly, skin side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the lamb belly and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the meat side.
- Pour the honey glaze over the lamb belly, making sure to coat the entire surface. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting the lamb belly with the glaze every 30 minutes, until the meat is tender and the skin is crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the lamb belly from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle any remaining honey glaze from the skillet over the sliced lamb belly. Enjoy!
The history of crispy lamb belly with a honey glaze can be traced back to the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean regions, where lamb is a staple meat. This dish has been perfected by renowned chefs such as Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, who have popularized it in their cookbooks and restaurants. The succulent lamb belly is slow-cooked to render the fat and then crisped up in the oven, creating a perfect balance of tender meat and crunchy skin. The honey glaze adds a sweet and sticky finish, elevating the dish to a whole new level of indulgence. For the best version of this dish, head to upscale Mediterranean restaurants or try making it at home with high-quality lamb and locally sourced honey. Mastering the art of rendering the fat and achieving the perfect crispiness is crucial for a truly exceptional crispy lamb belly with a honey glaze.
