Lechon Kawali (Pan-Roasted Pork)

Filipino Recipe - Lechon sa Kawali (Pan-Roasted Pork)

Wednesday 7 Jun 2006

Lechon Kawali (Pan-Roasted Pork) is my mom’s favorite Filipino food dish. When I have a time to cook back then, she’ll request me to make some. She even asked the recipe so that whenever she craves for it, she can cook lechon kawali (pan-roasted pork) by herself.

I miss my mom …

Ingredients :

Pork
· 1-1/2 lb. pork liempo (pork belly), cut into serving pieces
· 4 cloves garlic, crushed
· 1/4 tsp. pepper or 1 tsp. peppercorns
· 2 tbsp. salt
· water, for boiling
· oil, for frying

Sauce
· 1 tbsp. soy sauce
· 2-1/2 tbsp. vinegar
· 1 clove garlic, minced

I ADORE this all time favorite dish! If you like it a little less on the greasy side, you can cook it in a pressure cooker while raised on rack so the fat drips off to the bottom. Or you can do this in a conventional oven but I suggest covering it with Aluminum Foil so that the fat doesn't spatter all over the place.

Lechon Kawali always ruin my diet.

Once you've tried lechon kawali, you can never get enough. I am recommending this recipe to those who haven't tried it. As for me, this is what i'm busy at the moment www.foodista.com/2008/05/08/brining-your-bird/. Hope it turns out good. G'luck to me.

The way I do it, after the boiling part, refrigerate overnight so that there is some "freezer burn" meaning, dehydration of the pork. This will help to make it crunchier. Instead of deep frying, use a turbo broiler. The melted fat drips away from the rack that you should use. Cook till light brown in color. Use a vinegar -garlic dip or thew bottled Mang Tomas Lechon sauce.

I know its gonna kill me one day but I love lechon. Im in a area where we dont have a filipino rest. that makes them all the time. Now I can make them at home. I used to drive all the way to San Diego but I found a Chinese Restaurant in Corona,CA called China Garden, yes a chinese restaurant to make lechon kawali to order call them 20 mins ahead of time, its quite good. They are a little stingy on the lechon sauce, so ask for extra.

Hi Sel,
I have just done this recipe early in the afternoon on 01/17/07... I guess I'll have to be quite about this the next time I'll make some... I almost have nothing left for me, they claim it was just so good..."TRUE".
By the way, I have been looking for the elusive recipe on how to make the Cebu Chorizo. I would greatly appriciate it if you do have one... I will be forever be greatful....
Thank you again for these great recipes you posted on this site... These is now my day in day out site at first glance when I come home from work....

Kind Regards
Mario R. Codina
