Filipino Pork Barbecue Recipe

Ingredients:

2 pounds of pork cut into cubes ( I prefer combination of pork butt and pork belly)
1 small onions, minced
1 cup soy sauce
1 whole garlic, peeled and smashed
¼ cup of calamansi juice or lemon juice
½ cup of 7Up or Sprite soda/pop
1 cup of Banana Sauce (Ketchup)
5 tablespoon of dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of sesame oil

bamboo skewers- soaked overnight

Directions:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except pork and cooking oil. Mix thoroughly.
• Add the pork cubes, make sure that it is well coated. Marinade for a minimum of an hour, preferably overnight on the fridge.
• Pre-heat grill. Skewer the marinated pork.
• Bring the marinade mixture to boil. Let it simmer until it is reduced to half. Transfer into a bowl and add oil. Mix well. This would be used as a glazed for the barbecue.
• Grill pork barbecue for about 5 minutes each side. Brush both sides with the prepared barbecue glaze.
• Serve hot with Green Papaya Pickle ( Atsara ) or your favorite Dipping Sauce.
• Share and Enjoy!

Note:

• Easy Dipping sauce would be a mixture of crushed garlic,minced onions, red chili pepper and sugar cane vinegar. Pinch of sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
• Use charcoal grill for best authentic taste.
