Pork Rashers | Cookshack

vickibMember

My South African neighbor has a friend visiting from South Africa. They love to eat what they call Pork Rashers. From speaking to them about it, it sounds like a thin section of pork bellie, mostly fat. You BBQ it and it becomes crispy.

Anyone heard about them? I want to be able to tell the local butcher how to cut it. Thanks guys.

Living in Australia, the only Rashers I knew of was bacon with the rind on and they called it Pork Rashers.

Someone will pop in.

Not sure how you'll get "crispy" on a BBQ unless it's grilling and high heat.

Well, I did a web search after posting this and found a bunch of info. Pork Rashers are just bellies cut up raw into very thick (close to 3/4 inch) slices, with skin left on. The South Africans do them seasoned with a version of flavored MSG and then grilled till crispy.

Smokin, in my pre-smoker days, I would refer to doing it on the BBQ as grilling. Now I would say smoking or (what I should have said was grilling not BBQ). I stand corrected.

Fully understand, pretty common to confusion for some, but to me BBQ is whatever you call it (just tell me so I know)

Grilling and smoking is all good. Not boiled ribs.

True, but I would take boiled ribs slathered in sauce over cauliflower any day.
