Did you know that pork is the most widely consumed meat in the world? I've eaten a lot of pork dishes using different style of cooking and for me "Lechon" is the best. According to Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, the best pig in the world is here in the Philippines which is "Lechon Cebu" (roasted pork) . It captured the heart of the American chef, author and television personality who loves to eat pork. There are many ways and style on how to cook pork. Just like chicken, most parts of a pig is consumed for food. This time I will share how to prepare one of my favorite pork dish, "Paksiw na Pata" (braised pork hocks). I learned this recipe from my mother who loves to cook fatty dishes. I hope you can enjoy this dish and make sure don't forget to serve it with steamed rice.
