Paksiw na Lechon

Are there any Recipes for Lechon Leftovers?

There is one thing that is most popularly known dish for leftovers of lechon and that is Paksiw na Lechon. There really is no strict or rigid recipe but mostly it is composed of the sarsa or the lechon sauce. Some people would add vinegar or a bit of soy sauce to taste, I am assumin, and also some peppers and many other spices.


It is typical for Filipinos to turn leftover lechon into paksiw na lechon. I am assuming that this became a common practice especially since the pre-refrigeration time so they could preserve the food. Cooking it in a lot of spices would surely be able to preserve it and prevent it from becoming spoiled. This practice lead to the invention of many different variations of lechon paksiw.

Recipes vary depending on region, I would say. Some would use the bottled sauces that can be bought at grocery stores while some really use the ones that came with the Lechon (the sauce is usually included when you order lechon). I think the ones that come with the lechon is better tasting than the ones in the bottles. It really ahas a fresher taste and it's really nothing like the ones in the bottle. So my recommendation would be that if you are to cook lechon paksiw, make sure you don't use the bottled ones if you can.

Of course, the skin would not be the same, it would not be as crunchy, and the experience will really be different from eating freshly roasted lechon. But it also has its own advantages. If cooked really well, the meat can be really soft and it would really be a great combo with some rice. The skin also has its own merits. It becomes a sort of still crunchy yet very moist type of texture. I guess it really depends on how it's cooked, how fresh the lechon is, and the varying recipes for cooking paksiw na lechon.

What is Lechon Philippine?

What is the History of Lechon in the Philippines?

I am not exactly sure about the actual history of Lechon in the Philippines. I am guessing it has something to do with the Spanish occupation. I think lechon means "suckling pig" if directly translated. But really, I am not sure as I have said. All I know is that I love eating lechon so much. It's really one of the best experience ever to be in on earth is to eat Philippine Lechon.




So what exactly is the Philippine Lechon? Well, simply put it is roasted whole pig. There are many variations when it comes to recipe depending on what region it comes from. The people from manila would cook it differently than those from the south, for instance, from the islands of cebu.

It usually comes with sarsa or lechon sauce. This varies with recipe as well. Also, those from cebu prefer their lechon to not have sauce and would usually just be served with spicy vinegar. Thy typical lechon sauce would be something like the popular all-around sauce Mang Tomas. It is usually made up of liver, if I'm not mistaken. Also, it is way better to have the sauce that comes with the lechon instead of just getting the ones that are bottled. This sauce is not just used for lechon baboy but also many other things. I personally love the sauce. It is also used to cook the popular recipe made with lechon leftover caled lechon paksiw.

Lechon is really very popular all over the world. Many foreigners go to the Philippines just to try it out. And it is something that is surely recommended. You are missing out if you have not tried eating Lechon from the Philippines.


Why is Lechon Considered Rich

Is lechon considered food for the rich?

I really don't know exactly what this means but I guess this is because of the price that is attached to having a whole roasted lechon. I think nowadays the price of getting a lechon would be ranging from around 4,000 pesos to 9,000 depending on the size and where you're getting it from. There are many different kinds of lechon, actually. For instance, the cebu lechon, a very popular recipe that comes from the south of the Philippines. They say you no longer need the lechon sauce or popularly known as sarsa because the flavor of the lechon recipe that comes from cebu is already so rich.




I personally love eating lechon. The crunchy skin is just something so ecstatic that everyone in the world should be able to try it. Some people see it as unhealthy, greedy, and even gluttonous, but I think it's really all about perspective. I think the lechon is something that Filipinos should be proud of and can really stand out against other dishes from international cuisines. I guess some would ask like Why is Lechon Considered only for the Rich? I guess, there is that greediness about it, especially since you need to cook a whole pig instead of just parts of it. But the lechon is usually eaten in a gathering anyways so there will be a lot of people sharing and eating.

It is true that it is very unhealthy. It's even really bad for those who have problems with the heart, hypertension, or anyone with risks regarding having too much cholesterol. But hey, that's why there should be balance of exercise and eating delicious lechon. Also, make sure you don't have too much of it. It's such a shame that the most unhealthy parts are the best parts like the skin with the fats.

I am actually craving lechon right now. I can just imagine the crunchy amazing texture of the skin and the sound it makes as I chew it. Oh men, it's really a wonderful experience. Eating lechon is really a pleasurable act. It's one of the best experiences one can have in this life.
