Paksiw na Lechon<\/strong> made with chopped roast pork stewed in vinegar, liver sauce, and spices is perfectly sweet and tangy. It's a mouthwatering dish you'll love with steamed rice; a great use of roast pork leftovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is one thing we, Filipinos, go overboard during the holidays is the food. Our Noche Buena table is almost always groaning with the weight of various meats, sides, and sweets piled high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas is just another excuse for us to enjoy lechon along with the embutido<\/a>, the pancit bihon guisado<\/a>, the lengua in mushroom sauce<\/a>, the buko pandan<\/a>, the leche flan<\/a>. But even with hefty appetites and a large crowd to partake of the feast, a whole roasted pig is simply too much to consume in one sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There would be, for sure, plenty of leftover scraps and pieces of the crisp and succulent spit-roasted pig to turn into this mouthwatering lechong paksiw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is lechon paksiw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like the sweet and tangy paksiw na pata<\/a>, lechon paksiw is a Filipino-style dish stewed in vinegar and aromatics such as garlic, onions, peppercorns, and bay leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's traditionally made of chopped roast pork, usually from leftover lechon served the previous day for large parties.  The accompanying liver sauce<\/a> is also included in the stew to add savory flavor as well as sugar to balance the acidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
