'Paksiw' means to cook and simmer in vinegar, a method of cooking that is pretty common here in the Philippines. While I'm not too fond of the common paksiw na pata (pork hock) or paksiw na bangus (milkfish), lechon paksiw for me is a totally different story. I guess it's the lechon/liver sauce that makes all the difference.

1/2 kg lechon, cut into pieces3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon pepper corn
1 cup water
Procedure:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and cook over low flame.
2. Simmer for 30 minutes or until sauce thickens.
3. Season with salt to taste.
4. Serve hot with steamed or fried rice.
Looks delicious! This is the first time I have heard of this lechon paksiw. We do not eat pork in our home so I wonder if we could substitute with chicken.

ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I was wanting to try and add a little something different to our normal weekly meals and this will be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good but I don't eat anything thing with vinegar except pickles and olives. My family would probably love this dish if I make it for them so I will have to try cooking it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat dish looks so delicious... I love the stew/gravy and combination of ingredients.
