A Desperation for Lechon Paksiw

Are you craving for lechon paksiw but you don't have any left over lechon?  Hmmm!  Why not make your own lechon and make it a lechon paksiw.

This what happened to me this afternoon.  We don't have any dinner for tonight and my mom told me we had pork in the fridge.  My initial dish in mind was lechon kawali but i think I want something new for dinner.  What dish is similar to lechon kawali, well I think its lechon paksiw.

Mixture A:

• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 Tbsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 laurel leaf
• 1/2 kg pork, (I used liempo)

Mixture B:

• 5 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tsp black pepper (I used semi-crushed black pepper)
• 3/4c lechon sauce (Mang Tomas)
• 1/4c white vinegar
• 1/4c pork broth
• 1/2c water

Procedure:

1. Boil together Mixture A for 30 minutes.  Save 1/4 of the broth.
2. Cool the boiled pork for at least 10 minutes and rub it with oil.  Rub pork fats with rock salt.
3. Grill inside the oven until the fat is crisp. (My initial plan is o deep fry it but I find using too much oil quite expensive.)

 Oops!  I think I over grilled it.  Hehe!

     4.   Chopped the grilled meat into desired size.
     5.   Combine the grilled meat with mixture B and simmer until the pork is tender, about 30-40minutes.

Enjoy!
