BBQ Liempo is a popular Filipino dish featuring pork belly marinated in a flavorful blend of soy sauce, calamansi juice, garlic, sugar, black pepper, and other seasonings. Grilled to perfection, it boasts a smoky, caramelized exterior and tender, juicy meat. Rooted in Filipino cuisine, it embodies the country’s love for bold, savory flavors and embraces communal, outdoor grilling traditions. While BBQ Liempo is rich in protein, it is also high in fat due to the pork belly cut, which makes it energy-dense but less ideal for those monitoring saturated fat intake. The marinade provides a touch of sweetness, which can contribute added sugars. However, grilling as the cooking method minimizes oil usage, making it a relatively healthier option compared to deep-fried alternatives. Pairing BBQ Liempo with fresh vegetables or a light salad can complement its indulgent flavors while adding balance to the meal.
