Craving for lechon paksiw but don’t have lechon leftovers? Then this recipe is perfect for you.No need to wait for lechon leftovers to make paksiw. Here’s a simple way to make paksiw from scratch.
Ingredients:
1 kilo pig’s front trotter (pata front), cut into 2-inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 cups bottled lechon sauce
1/2 cup pork stock
3 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
salt and pepper to taste
1 Place pata in a deep stockpot and fill with water until the meat is fully covered. Bring to a boil then simmer for about 1 hour or until pata is fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
2 Carefully remove the bones of the pata and slice meat into 2-inch pieces. Heat oil in a medium stockpot. Briefly sear skin of the pata (not the meat) until lightly browned. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
3 Add the rest of the meat and all other ingredients in the stockpot. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes without stirring. Stir and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
