Belcampo's Pulled Lamb Belly Sandwich Recipe
- 2 pounds lamb belly
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 teaspoons paprika
- 4 fairly soft French sandwich rolls, split
- Unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup aioli or mayonnaise, blended with 1 teaspoon harissa
- Cilantro leaves, torn
- Wild arugula
- Lemon juice
- Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. To a roasting pan or other large ovenproof dish, add the lamb belly, salt, pepper, garlic cloves, fennel, cumin, and paprika.
- Mix everything together, cover the pan with foil, and cook until the meat softens, about 10 hours.
- Remove the meat from the resulting braising liquid and allow both to cool.
- Lift the solidified fat from the liquid, pour the liquid into a saucepan over medium-high heat, and reduce until thickened.
- Shred the meat by hand and recombine with the thickened liquid.
- Use right away, or cool and store in the fridge.
- Toast the rolls and paint them with the melted butter.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the harissa aioli on a roll and top with 1/3 pound of the hot pulled lamb, some torn cilantro, wild arugula, and a squeeze of lemon.
- Repeat with the remaining rolls.
