Inihaw na liempo
Inihaw na liempo is a delicious Filipino dish! It's a grilled pork belly marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, calamansi (Filipino lime), garlic, and other spices. The marinated pork is then grilled to perfection, resulting in a smoky and juicy dish with crispy edges. It's often served with steamed rice and a dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork belly (liempo)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup calamansi juice or lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Cooking oil for basting
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, calamansi juice (or lemon juice), minced garlic, ground black pepper, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to make the marinade.
- Place the pork belly in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork, making sure it's coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the pork belly from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill the pork belly on each side for about 10-15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred.
- While grilling, baste the pork belly with cooking oil from time to time to keep it moist and to enhance the flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the Inihaw na liempo into serving pieces and serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite dipping sauce.
