History of Lechon Kawali
Lechon kawali is a popular Filipino dish known for its crispy fried pork belly, and its origins can be traced back to the Spanish influence on Philippine cuisine. The word "lechon" refers to roasted or spit-roasted pork, a traditional centerpiece in many Filipino celebrations. Kawali, meaning "pan" in Tagalog, highlights the cooking method—deep-frying the pork belly until it achieves a perfectly crispy skin and tender meat.
This dish has evolved into a staple of everyday Filipino dining, often served with a side of dipping sauce, usually made from vinegar, soy sauce, and chili. It is commonly enjoyed with rice and is a favorite at gatherings, family meals, and fiestas.
Over the years, lechon kawali has become synonymous with indulgence and comfort, embodying the Filipino spirit of sharing and celebration. Its rich flavors and satisfying crunch make it a beloved dish across generations, ensuring its place in the hearts (and stomachs) of many Filipinos.
