Crispy Oven Broiled Liempo

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I always try to avoid fatty food, but sometimes I have to give-in to my cravings. As long as I know my limits, that should be ok. I was craving for liempo and I thought that lechon kawali will be a perfect dish to make for lunch, but I ran out of cooking oil. Instead, I prepared Crispy Oven Broiled Liempo. This dish has the same crisp and lovely flavor as lechon kawali, but it is less greasy.

There are other advantages of preparing Crispy Oven Broiled Liempo over lechon kawali other than it being less greasy; I think that this is also safer to cook. You see, lechon kawali entails the pork belly to be deep fried in cooking oil. There is a possibility for the oil to splatter and unexperienced cooks might be vulnerable to burn their skin. On the other hand, broiling the pork does not put yourself at risk as long as you wear an oven glove when handling the pork.

This dish is best enjoyed if dipped in lechon sauce (sarsa ng lechon) or sinamak.

Try this Crispy Oven Broiled Liempo recipe. Let me know what you think.

    HI, My question for this is can you freeze the pork after boiling and convection bake it later? Thank you.

    This is just what I was looking for! One time, I watched my Fil-Chi friend make kawali in a wok. Afterwards, he needed salve for the burns on his face from the spatter. Safe and easy, that’s my style!

      Paul, I agree; this is safe and uses less oil. So if you are just starting out, this recipe is recommended. Once you think that you can do deep fried dishes, lechon kawali is the next recipe to try.
