This tart, rich, savory recipe is the best answer to the problem of having leftover lechon after a big party, and the reason why everyone’s eager to bring the remaining pork home to make this delicious Filipino favorite. Simmered in a mixture of soy sauce, the leftover lechon sauce, mouth-puckering vinegar and tasty beef stock, the lechon absorbs this sweet, salty and sour combination and retains its moisture even after this second cooking, making it a great partner for white rice and boiled vegetables. You can adjust the vinegar and sugar content of the sauce as required, and this is really at its best when the lechon sauce is made from the trimmings of the lechon as well as the liver, for it imparts a deep, meaty flavor that adds to the heartiness of this recipe. It’s so good, you’ll forget that it was made from leftovers!
