Among the most ubiquitous pork dishes these days is pork belly. It's hard to resist — fatty, porky tasting, rich and an excellent source of calories.
Scott Serpas offered a flawless chunk of the stuff during Midtown Restaurant Week. He braised it until it was unusually lean and placed it over a fat raviolo stuffed with spinach, ricotta and artichokes. Then he added braised collards to the dish. Finally, he topped the meat with pickled mustard seeds.
I don't think I've ever had such a good treatment. It's on Serpas' regular menu. Don't miss it.
