This lechon sauce of Cavite City is used to be for lechon baboy (roasted pig) only, but later on served also as a dipping sauce for other roasted and fried dishes, such as litson manok (roasted chicken), fried pork chop, pritong isda, even for lumpia.
It has a paste of ground cooked liver of pig (or chicken), bread crumbs, water, brown sugar, onion, garlic, other spices, salt, and ground peppercorn. Named after the Chilean condiment of the same name but the foreign salsa is quite different being that it has no liver in the ingredients but an assortment of spices, ground or pureed spicy aji peppers, and chopped tomatoes, and may vary in different regions of Chile.
