The basis for first-class grill torches is high-quality pork belly. To do this, you should choose a piece of pork belly with an even layer of fat and lean. The fat not only provides the characteristic taste, crunch and juiciness, but also prevents the meat from drying out when grilling. The slices should not be cut too thick or too thin. For barbecue torches, even slices with a thickness of half a centimeter are optimal.

You need these ingredients for spicy grill torches:
Marinade
:
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp mustard
salt and pepper
Fresh herbs of your choice (e.g. rosemary, thyme, oregano)
Grill torches:
10 slices of pork belly (0.5 cm thick)
10 wooden shish kebab skewers
Preparation is so quick and easy:
For the marinade:
Put all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl. Finely chop the garlic cloves and mix with vegetable oil, soy sauce, paprika, brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Add fresh herbs and mix everything well.
For the grill torches:
Mix the pork belly with the marinade and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
In the meantime, prepare wooden skewers, because with this secret trick, grilled skewers always turn out perfectly.
Wind the marinated pork belly tightly in a spiral along the skewer. Make sure the rind faces outwards.
Grill the torches on all sides for about ten minutes. While grilling, occasionally brush with leftover marinade if desired. When the grill torches are crispy, they are ready.
Bon appetit!
