Instructions

  1. 1 Combine wine and garlic. Set aside.
  2. 2 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.
  3. 3 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.
  4. 4 Refrigerate for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, slice the pancetta and use in your favorite recipe, or pan fry as you would bacon.
