Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 275°F. Season the pork belly with salt and pepper, then place in a roasting pan and cover with foil. Roast for 2 hours, or until tender.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallops and sear on both sides until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the white wine and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
- Return the scallops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for 2 more minutes, or until the scallops are cooked through.
- Slice the roasted pork belly and serve with the scallops, drizzling the sauce from the skillet over top. Garnish with the chopped parsley.
