Coming Soon! "Lechon Baboy" (Whole Roast Pig)
Lechon Baboy (Whole Roast Pig)
Lechón is a pork dish in several regions of the world, most specifically Spain and its former colonial possessions (Philippines) throughout the world. The word lechón originated from the Spanish term lechón; that refers to a suckling pig that is roasted. Lechón is a popular food in the Philippines and the dish features a whole roasted pig cooked over hot coals. It is a national dish of the Philippines, and The Lumpia Hut would like to bring it to you!
In most regions, lechón is prepared throughout the year for any special occasion, during festivals, and the holidays. After seasoning, the pig is cooked by skewering the entire animal, entrails removed, on a large stick and cooking it in a pit filled with charcoal. The pig is placed over the charcoal, and the stick or rod it is attached to is turned in a rotisserie action. The pig is roasted on all sides for several hours until done. The process of cooking and basting usually results in making the pork skin crisp and is a distinctive feature of the dish.
