Liempo Humba is a rich and flavorful Filipino dish originating from the Visayas and Mindanao regions. This traditional recipe combines pork belly (liempo) with a savory-sweet sauce made from soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and aromatic spices like garlic, bay leaves, and star anise. Often enhanced with fermented black beans and banana blossoms for added texture and depth, Liempo Humba is braised until tender, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth meat with a succulent glaze. While the dish is a comforting indulgence, it is high in fat and sodium, making it less suitable for frequent consumption or those monitoring heart health. However, it does provide protein and essential vitamins from its spices and ingredients like garlic and vinegar. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or brown rice can help balance its nutritional profile. Liempo Humba’s irresistible flavors make it a beloved staple in Filipino cuisine despite its decadent nature.
