Best Taste Cebu Lechon Recipe

Prepare:
1 whole pig (about 20 kilos)
Salt
Black pepper
Soy sauce

Lechon Stuffing:
5-10 bundles lemon grass (tanglad)
20pcs. Banana (saba variety), peeled then halved or
20pcs. Taro (gabi), peeled

Pigs in Zen.

  1. Clean and prepare the pig by removing innards, washing and scraping the body of bristles. Rinse and allow to drain a bit before stuffing
  2. Rub with salt and pepper inside and out.
  3. Rub soy sauce on the skin of the pig. This will make it nicely red when roasted.
  4. Stuff the belly of the lechon with lemon grass along with saba and gabi. Sew to close.
  5. Skewer the pig and split roast over live charcoal or traditionally, in some parts of Cebu, under live fire. Roast until crisp.
  6. Cebu lechon is not served with a sauce. But if dipping sauce is requested, vinegar with scallions and pepper may be served along with it.

    […] In my journey through life, a particular dish holds a special meaning for me.  I’m a lover of lechon, or what a Filipino or a Puerto Rican might call a roast pig.  Personally, I prefer the variety made on the Philippine island of Cebu.  I also prefer Cebuano mangoes to those found elsewhere, but that’s a topic for another blog entry.  Anyway, lechon is all about the umami.  I’m all about the umami.  The best lechon, I think, is from Cebu where my father grew up.  Here’s a little look into what goes into a Cebuano lechon.  This recipe was sent to me by my friend James from the following source: http://www.extra-rice.com/best-taste-cebu-lechon-recipe/ […]
