Share:
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork belly with ribs
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Season pork with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, massaging all over the meat.
- Place meat in the slow cooker (NO LIQUIDS) and cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for about 4 to 5 hours until tender but not falling apart.
- Remove pork from the slow cooker and arrange on a roasting rack skin side up.
- Bake in a 430 F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or until skin is golden and blistered.
- Remove from heat. Skin will crisp as it cools. Let stand for about 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
Notes
- You can use boneless pork belly or with ribs. To make the chopping easier, you can have the butcher cut the bones.
- DO NOT add liquids! Don't panic, have faith. The pork is not going to burn or dry out, it will release its own juices as it slow cooks in the crockpot.
- To keep the lechon tender and succulent, cook in the slow cooker until tender but not falling apart.
- Roast on a wire rack so it's elevated by a few inches to allow the heat to circulate around the pork and crisp it all over.
- Let the roast pork stand for about 10 minutes before cutting to pieces so the juices will redistribute and keep the meat moist and flavorful.
