Ingredients 

  • 1 pound pork belly
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil like Canola
  • 16.9 oz pineapple juice
  • 16.9 oz water
  • 1 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 4 pieces chicken liver
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp red or green chilies minced
  • 2 tbsp calamansi juice or ½ lemon or lime juice
  • ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine water with the pineapple juice in the liquid, until tender (about 30 min) Set aside and let it dry. 
  • Grill or pan fry the pork belly until the skin turns crispy and golden brown. Chop into small pieces and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a skillet and pan fry the chicken liver until cooked through. Chop the liver into small pieces.
  • In a bowl combine the chopped meat, the onions, lemon juice, soy sauce and chilies. Warm it in a pan with the butter.
  • Transfer it to a plate or a sizzling plate!

Notes

  • If fresh chicken liver is unavailable, use store bought Liver paste, also known as liver pate.
  • If you cannot get calamansi, you can substitute with lemon or lime. However, there will be a flavor difference.
  • For more velvety flavors you  can also add an egg but by cracking one open when the mixture is still sizzling hot.
