Lechon Kawali

I would like to share with you an easy Lechon Kawali recipe.


You will need:

1.5 lbs pork belly
half cup chopped garlic
2 medium onion, sliced
3 tbsp salt
1 tsp black pepper


Boil the pork belly in 1 to 1.5 liters of water. Add the garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Simmer for 1 to an hour and a half to achieve the desired tenderness of the pork belly

Place the pork belly in the rack and broil for 20 minutes, 10 minutes for each side.

After 20 minutes it should look like this.

If you will be using a convection oven, preheat to 475°F. Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
