I had a confit of pork belly in a French restaurant once and it was
superb. They had, I think, slow cooked it submerged in pork fat
(analogous to duck confit) rendering even more fat from the meat, then
sliced it and seared it before serving.
I have tried to emulate this but *all* of the pork belly that I have
found in supermarkets is salted.
