Lechon Kawali Recipe

For the FMB Lunch Meme, we had lechon kawali as viand for our Monday packed lunch. The lechon meat was from the post-Media Noche lunch we had last Saturday.

I am not used to cooking lechon kawali so I just had to rely on my instinct and taste buds as to what I will put.

Here was how I did it:

  1. In very little oil, I sauteed lots of garlic and onions.
  2. Then I put lechon meat in the pan.
  3. I then put on some (strawberry cider) vinegar, a little (muscovado) sugar, a little soy sauce and a little bit of (less sodium) oyster sauce.
  4. A dash of ground pepper (cracked peppercorns are not used since there are children who will eat the dish), half a cup of commercially bottled lechon sauce and a bay leaf completed the recipe.

I cooked in slow heat for several minutes.

No, sometimes I don’t follow certain measurements when I cook. Photo here.

What else have I forgotten?

Lechon

Media Noche came and went but I was not able to get a photo of the food we had. We had New Years’ Eve dinner with my in-laws and it was a hodge-podge affair with visitors so taking photos of food was forgotten.Photos of the children were a-plenty though.

Media Noche at home on the other hand was more like a delayed dessert galore of sweets which I was not able to take photos of, again.

Anyway, we had a post-Media Noche lunch yesterday after we had our breakfast picnic.

There was lechon cooked early in the morning and flown in a 10am flight from Bohol, brought by my brother-in-law.

My two younger children did not eat because they saw that it was a PIG on the dining table.
