3. For the pork’s marinade: mix all the ingredients and add olive oil. Crush in a mortar until you get a fluid paste. Once ready, rub the marinade all over the pork belly.
4. Take the meat to the grill, applying embers evenly below the grate. Keep the fire and embers going during all the cooking. Our pork belly is going the be cooked 2 to 2:30 hs each side.
