Ever wondered about how you’re going to choose between the sharp tartness of a good kinilaw with the smoky, meaty goodness of char-grilled liempo for a meal? This recipe combines two firm Filipino favorites in one recipe, topping the refreshing, palate-cleansing sauce of freshly-made tuna kinilaw, with the rich taste of grilled pork belly.

Serve this with lots of hot rice, of course—and an ice-cold beer or soda would not be amiss. It’s perfect for parties or potluck celebrations as it keeps well and serves plenty of people!
