grae, you really kind of need a flat pan… You could make it in a wide flat bottomed wok maybe but with a bit of risk…

that is exactly the type of food I shouldn’t be looking at 3 in the morning an hour before bedtime.. :)

Anyway it is such a coincidence coz I was planning to make paella this weekend for the boyfee.. Unfortunately, I don’t have that paella pan you are using.. Would it still achieve the same effect if I use a wok or a thick kawali or do I really have to buy paellera?

way back around 2004, i’ve cooked paella con lechon while i was working at the richmonde hotel, it’s a part of the cycle menu in the lunch buffet.. but we use lechon kawali instead of the roasted version

I shall duplicate lechon paella ala marketman because it looks yummy and the ingredients seem to blend.Also, I have been researching all of your prior postings on LECHONS. Would you please give me a more detailed stuffing recipe for a 40 pound pig (18 kilos)? I am blessed to have access to practically all types of herbs and spices here in the San Francisco Bay Area.And I am going to attempt my first lechon on Sunday for a friend’s birthday.I also found a friend who owns a mechanical/automated lechon roasting apparatus and borrowed it.I am going to Durham’s farm to pick my pig.Since I am still learning how to cook I am not good at guesstimating.I have read all of your lechon articles so I have an idea on the steps.But specificity would help a rookie like me.

I wonder if the pork still tasted like lechon? It would be nice to have lechon AND paella.

MM,

Your recipes and photos always leave a smile on my face. Happiness on a plate! My husband is also used to my last minute meals using whatever is in the fridge too.

I haven’t been back in Cebu, so I haven’t had the chance to try the Zubuchon, but my friends swear by it! There is a Vietnamese restaurant that makes lechon Filipino style. Although it’s not very close to the flavors of Cebu lechon, it’s enough to make Pinoys here in Dallas moan in ecstasy when slices are dipped in Suka Pinakurat.

I have tasted the Lydia’s Lechon with paella and was not too impressed about it.
