Method

Using a knife, remove the rind and any bones from the pork belly, making sure to keep the fat on the belly (see Workshop). Chop the pork belly and pork shoulder into approximately ¼-inch (7 mm) pieces (see Workshop).

Finely chop the onion. Cut the cheese into cubes twice the size of the pork belly dice.
