Lechon Harman

Lechon being roasted

Roasting harmanz is a very old and common zombie/cannibal practice. With this recipe, you'll find that your roast harman will taste the same again!

INGREDIENTS

1 whole harman

salt

black pepper

soy sauce

For the stuffing:

5 to 10 bundles lemon grass

20 pcs. bananas (plantain variety), peeled then halved or 20 pcs. taro, peeled

LECHON PROCEDURES

1. Clean and prepare the harman by removing innards, washing and scraping innards, washing and scraping the body of hair. Rinse and allow to drain a bit before stuffing.
2. Rub with salt and pepper inside and out.
3. Rub soy sauce on the skin of the harman. This will make it nicely red when roasted.
4. Stuff the belly of the lechon with lemon grass along with bananas/taro. Sew to close.
5. Skewer the harman and split roast over live charcoal or under live fire. Roast until crisp.
6. If a dipping sauce is requested, vinegar with scallions and pepper may be served along with it.

(Details about what the original lechon is can be found on this wikipedia page. This particular recipe is based on the Filipino Cebu Lechon, which is actually a very nice dish. Anthony Bourdain once called it "the best pig ever")
