- Del Monte Pineapple
Ingredients:
- 1 kg pork, liempo
- 2 Tbsp salt, rock
- 4 Tbsp sugar, white
- 1/2 tsp prague powder
- 1 can DEL MONTE 100% Pineapple Juice with Vitamins A, C & E (240ml)
- 1/2 cup sugar, brown
- 1 cup beer
- 2 pcs star anise
- 2 Tbsp sugar, white
Preparation:
1. Using a fork, prick the liempo all around to ensure the salt and sugar will be able to penetrate the meat. Set aside.
2. Mix the rock salt, sugar, and prague powder in a bowl. Rub and cover the meat with the mixture. Place in a covered container and refrigerate for 3 days.
3. After 3 days, remove the liempo from the mixture and wash the meat very well to remove the excess salt.
4. In a pot, mix DEL MONTE 100% Pineapple Juice with ACE, brown sugar, beer, and star anise. Add the drained liempo. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender.
5. Once tender, remove the liempo from the sauce and place it on a tray. Sprinkle the top with sugar, then, using a hot iron or sianse/turner, pat the meat to allow the sugar to caramelize.
Chef`s Tip
If you do not have a hot iron, broil the liempo in a broiler or oven until the sugar caramelizes.
