How to Make It

Preparing the Ingredients

  1. Chop the lechon into small sisig-sized pieces.
  2. Dice the onions, mince the garlic, chop the chilies, and squeeze the calamansi juice. Set some onions and chilies aside for garnish.

Cooking the Lechon Sisig

  1. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little oil. If the lechon is fatty, skip the oil and render some of its fat instead.
  2. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add most of the onions and cook until softened.
  3. Stir in the chicken liver spread and cook until well combined.
  4. Add the chopped lechon and cook over medium-high heat until heated through and lightly crisp around the edges.
  5. Season with black pepper, then add the calamansi juice, chilies, and liquid seasoning. Mix well and adjust to taste.

Serving

  1. Heat a sizzling plate until very hot, then carefully add the butter or margarine.
  2. Transfer the sisig to the sizzling plate and garnish with the reserved onions, chilies, calamansi, and crispy garlic, if using.
  3. Serve mayonnaise on the side, if preferred.
  4. Serve with hot rice and enjoy!
Kubo Tips
  • Use lechon belly so the sisig stays juicy while the edges crisp up.
  • Add the calamansi near the end to keep its flavor bright and fresh.
  • Save some onions and chilies for garnish for extra texture and freshness.
