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.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe. I prepared this recipe for New Year’s Eve and it was a hit. It was like Baliwag liempo from home but less greasy. Have a blessed 2015!

    Hi, i like the idea of baking pork instead of frying it. The question is does the meat will become tender after it is done? Looking forward for your reply. Thanks.

    Thanks! This is the first time that I will do this, steam then broil. I’ve been cooking lechon kawali but I boil it first then fry but as you mentioned the flavor and nutrients will just go to the water. Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing. Will definitely try this one.

    Hi. I learned something new — steam the pork. Will it still make the pork tender? Thanks!

    I would love to try this recipe since I don’t like the frying part of the original lechon kawali recipe. What is the difference between boiling the pork vs. steaming it? Thank you for sharing all the wonderful recipes. We appreciate it very much!

      Marissa -- for this scenario, steaming the meat will retain the protein and flavor compared to boiling, as the water will absorb most of the nutrients and flavor.

    I will try this method. I’ve been craving and wanting to eat lechon kawali for a long time. But it’s the frying factor that scares me. I think this should solve that problem! Salamat!!

        Hi. My oven doesn’t have a broiler. How can i make the skin crispy? Thank you & more power!

    Hi, might be a bit too simplified… Heh heh.
    Yung initial broil ba dapat skin side up o skin side down?
    I suspect this makes a difference.
    Salamat.

      Hi Albert, while it can make a difference I did this by arranging the sliced pork belly by the side. This means that the skin is vertical. If you decide to do the skin side up in the initial broil, make sure to keep an eye on it so that the skin won’t get burnt.
