Oven Roasted Pork

It’s not a secret here that I’m a meat eater and I love lechon so when I’ve learned that I can cook Lechon Belly at home, I immediately tried it. I served it on our Media Noche.

Pork belly
Salt
Garlic Powder
Lemon Grass
Soy Sauce
Oil

I bought less than 2 kilos of pork belly. I rub it with salt and garlic powder according to taste. Place the lemon grass in a baking dish and place the pork belly on top of it. Put some soy sauce on top of the pork belly for color.


Bake it at 350F for 1 hour and 30 minutes, brush the pork belly skin with oil every 30 minutes. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, increase the temperature to 450F and bake for another 20-30 minutes.


I was proud and happy with the result, the skin is really crispy but I know that the taste is not yet perfect. The lemon grass flavor is overpowering so next time I will just use salt, pepper, and garlic. I cooked Lechon Paksiw from the leftover.

Feel free to share your oven-roasted pork recipe.
