Nothing says “celebration” in Filipino culture more than lechon. For the uninitiated, lechon is a whole pig spit-roasted over charcoal and flavored with oil and spices. It's the dish of choice for any special occasion.
To mark the twofold festivities of
Desiree’s (also Anna and Ida’s) birthday and our third wedding anniversary, we
roasted a 47-pound pig down at the lake. Desiree and I started prepping the
lechon at 4:00 in the morning and finally pulled it from the coals at 1:00 in
the afternoon.
We had a grand time from beginning to
end.
