2. Crispy Broiled Liempo

  For Noche Buena, try these delicious turbo broiler dishes. Eliminate the need to deep fry. With a turbo broiler, you cut down your gas and electricity costs as well as reduce the time you spend in the kitchen. In addition to that, harvest the health of benefits by replacing stove-cooking with turbo-broiling. Since a turbo broiler cooks through the hot air that is emitted inside the pot, you can expect the meat to be tender and juicy. With that, here are some of the recipes you must try this Christmas!  

Home-style Bagnet

Skip the oily-looking, greasy Bagnet you see at mall stalls. Try this Bagnet recipe that requires no deep-frying, which means zero oil! Let the pork pata produce its own natural oils for an enriching Bagnet experience inside the comfort of your home. Set up your broiler and follow this 5-step, 4-ingredient turbo-broiled Bagnet.  

Ingredients

• Salt, to taste
• 5 garlic cloves, sliced and crushed
• Ground black pepper
• 1 large pork, preferably pork pata

 

Instructions

1. Using a deep pan, simmer the pata for about 30 to 45 minutes. Extend the simmering time until it is tender but not extremely soft. Take a fork or a knife to poke its surface.
2. Once the pork is tender, drain well. Pat the pork completely dry and freeze. A tip: if you wish the skin of the pork pata to be crispy, dry it under the sun for two hours.
3. Take the pork pata out of the freezer. Air-dry it for a couple of minutes before placing it on the wire rack of the turbo broiler.
4. For 15 minutes, bake the pork pata at the turbo broiler’s highest temperature.
5. Then, switch to a more moderate heat of 350 degrees. Continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes. At this point, you will gradually notice the skin of the pork pata beginning to look like chicharron.
6. Take the pork pata out of the heat and serve with a dipping sauce!
