Sinigang na Lechon Kawali

December 9, 2017 by Manny 2 Comments

This dish is a unique version of pork sinigang. Instead of only boiling the raw pork with the tamarind broth, this sinigang na lechon kawali uses fried pork belly along with the sinigang broth and with the vegetables of course. This is a good way of recycling the left over lechon kawali you served in the holidays specially this coming Christmas and new year. I think you can also use lechon (roasted pig) instead of lechon kawali if lechon is what you have left after celebrating the holidays.

When cooking the lechon kawali, as much as possible buy a whole pork belly slab. Don’t let the butcher or meat vendor slice it into thin strips because when you fry the pork that way, it will become hard and dry. Boil the whole slab or divide it to fit in the pot you are using and boil it until almost tender. Then deep fry the pork until golden brown and the skin is crispy. Slice it into serving pieces and toss it on the sinigang broth.
