This is a delicious item that is both rich and creamy. I love it on a cooler spring time night. I was inspired by our local Pork Belly I got as a Sample of pork I received. I made it into a great spring time dinner with friend. We enjoyed this dish with our favor Hefeweizen with added a light yet great addition to the dinner.
If you are not interested in a broken sauce substitute butter and whisk in while the liquid mixuture is off.
I hope you enjoy is as much as I did.
