CRISPY PATA
Ingredients:
1 pc whole pig leg, cleaned thoroughly
5 pc bay leaves
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tbsps whole peppercorns
1 tbsp salt
3 tbsp rock salt
cooking oil

Dip:
Sauce
1 tbsp white sugar
cup soy sauce
cup vinegar
2 tbsp calamansi juice
1 birds eye chilli , seeded and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic , finely chopped

Atcharang Papaya:
1 pc large green papaya, shredded (not too fine)
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 pc small carrot, julienne
1 small red bell pepper, julienne
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 red onion
6 red chilies
1 thumb ginger, julienne
2 cups vinegar
cup sugar
1 tsp salt
tbsp whole peppercorns

Procedure:
1. Bring a large stock pot with water to a boil. Add bay leaves, garlic, peppercorns, salt, and pork leg. Simmer for 2-3 hour or until tender. Cool down. Let it rest in the fridge uncovered for 1 day on a drying rack.

2. Rub the leg with rock salt and heat your oil in a large enough pot to fit the leg.

3. Deep-fry the leg until crispy all-over. Make the dipping sauce by combining all the ingredients together.

4. To make the atchara, fry off all the ingredients. Drain and squeeze out the excess moisture. Boil vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper once cooled. Pour into the veggies. Let it cool down and serve.

5. Serve with Butterhead lettuce, steamed rice and some extra hot sauce or even some sweet chili sauce!
