Pork Barbecue - Pinoy Food

Barbecue is popular food world wide. However, we Filipinos have an exotic version of barbecues. Variety meats are not usually served on food recipes. But these parts are not leftovers for us Pinoys. These are usually barbecued by Pinoy street vendors, and Pinoy customers are usually crowded on making orders of these barbecued meat varieties.

These foods are labeled as unhealthy food and not recommended by the Health experts. However, we Filipinos still love to eat barbecues. So we order pork meat instead just to satisfy our barbecue cravings. This barbecue will be better if partnered with rice, barbecue sauce and very cold soft drinks. Wow! Live hard like Pinoy. Below are the secret recipe on making a delicious barbecue.

Ingredients:
1 kg. pork
20 bamboo skewers
1 cup soy sauce
1 head garlic, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup of calamansi juice or lemon juice
1/2 cup of 7up, sprite or beer (optional)
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons of brown or white sugar
1/2 cup of banana or tomato catsup

Procedure:
Cut pork meat into thin and long slices – 1/4 inches thick and less than 2 inches wide.
In a mixing bowl, marinate the cut pork with the soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped onions, calamansi juice, ground pepper, sugar, banana catsup and the soda or beer (this tenderizes and adds flavour to the pork barbeque)
Mix well and keep in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (turning occasionally).
Prepare the bamboo skewers by removing splinters and soaking in water to reduce burning during barbeque.
String the pork on the skewers.
Over live charcoals, barbeque the pork on skewers until each barbeque is cooked – turning every few minutes on each side and basting the leftover marinate on the barbeque.
