| Filipino LECHON 2 (Roast Pork) |
3-4 lbs. pork meat with skin, cut into 2-3 large chunks
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic
water
vegetable oil
Method:
In a covered deep pan over medium heat, bring to a boil the pork, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper in enough water to cover meat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes or more until meat is tender.
Remove pork from pan and let dry. Prick pork skin all over with a fork.
Set oven to broil at 325°. Brush pork skin with a little oil. With skin side up, place pork pieces on a wire rack in a pan and broil in oven until skin is brown and crispy.
Leave oven door slightly open while broiling. Do not let meat burn. Remove from oven. Cut meat into serving pieces and serve with lechon sauce or vinegar sauce.
