Ingredients

Cookware

  • One 11 inch tart/pie dish (28 cm) or 10 inch cake pan (25 cm)
  • 1 bowl
  • 1 grater for the nutmeg
  • 1 pan or small skillet
  • 1 rolling pin


Preparation

  1. Prepare the dough for the quiche crust with flour, butter, salt and water and let stand at least 20 minutes.

  2. Cut the pork belly into small strips or cubes (like lardons), trimming any excess fat. Blanch the pieces of meat by placing them in a pan, covering them with cold water, and then boiling them for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain. You can also brown the meat in a pan, with no oil, and then discard the grease.
