Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings 2 tablespoons red wine 2 cloves garlic, chopped 5 whole allspice berries 4 juniper berries 3 whole cloves 1 ½ teaspoons whole black peppercorns 1 teaspoon fennel seeds ½ teaspoon whole white peppercorns ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes 2 ½ tablespoons salt ½ teaspoon Prague Powder #2 ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 2 pounds pork belly Directions Combine wine and garlic. Set aside. Combine allspice berries, juniper berries, cloves, black peppercorns, fennel seeds, white peppercorns, and red pepper flakes in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind to a fine powder. Add salt, Prague powder, and nutmeg and stir well to combine. Place pork belly in a glass or ceramic dish. Cover on all sides with the spice mixture. Pour wine mixture evenly on top. Cover with a wire rack and then with a large piece of muslin; the rack prevents the muslin from touching the pork. Refrigerate for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, slice the pancetta and use in your favorite recipe, or pan fry as you would bacon.
