Ingredients

• Pork belly - 200 grams
• Pizza dough - 1 pre-made base (approximately 250 grams)
• Thai red curry paste - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Mozzarella cheese - 150 grams, shredded
• Bell pepper - 1 small, sliced (any color)
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
2. In a bowl, mix the pork belly with Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated pork belly and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Spread the pizza dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring an even thickness.
5. Once the pork is crispy, remove it from the heat and evenly distribute it over the pizza base.
6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pork, followed by the sliced bell pepper and red onion.
7. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
8. Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
