Crispy Oven Broiled Liempo

I always try to avoid fatty food, but sometimes I have to give-in to my cravings. As long as I know my limits, that should be ok. I was craving for liempo and I thought that lechon kawali will be a perfect dish to make for lunch, but I ran out of cooking oil. Instead, I prepared Crispy Oven Broiled Liempo. This dish has the same crisp and lovely flavor as lechon kawali, but it is less greasy.
