Lechon de Leche (Roasted Pig) Recipe

October 30th, 2014 Manny

Want something special to celebrate Christmas or New Year? Then I think a roasted pig or lechon will make your celebration merrier for a lesser cost by cooking your own lechon de leche. A roasted suckling pig cost less than a bigger and more expensive roasted pig and the meat is tender and tasty.

Ingredients:

4 kilos lechon de leche ( dressed piglet )

How to cook lechon de leche:

Clean and prepare the dressed pig by scraping the bristles. Rub the mixture of pepper, salt and MSG (optional) onto the skin of the pig. Stretch the pig and secure on skewers.

Cook over hot charcoal fire, basting frequently with the oil and turning it around continuously to achieve even cooking.

To make the sauce:

Place the liver pate in a bowl. Add vinegar, breadcrumbs, sugar, salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Pour 40 milliliters of cold water into the bowl and stir.

Finely chop the garlic and onions. Heat the lard in a large pan and sauté half the garlic until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Add the onions and the remaining garlic to the pan and sauté until soft and translucent. Pour the pate mixture, including the liquid, and bring to a boil. Let it boil rapidly for one minute.
