Recipe for Lechon Paksiw Bisaya Style
I grew up eating the lechon paksiw with liver sauce. Apparently, it is lutong Tagalog pala because when I asked my aunt about the liver sauce for the lechon left over she said there’s none because it is lechon cebu and it does not need that. And since I ran out of Mang Tomas, I just followed her rough instruction of how to cook Bisayang Lechon Paksiw which does not make use of liver sauce.
So for newbie cooking mamas who may want to try this lechon paksiw version, here’s a rough guide:
