🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Chicken is leaner and more affordable, while still providing a similar flavor profile.

Add vinegar and water and bring to a boil, uncovered and without stirring, for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Add lechon sauce and sugar and stir to combine.

Add pork and bay leaves.

Lower heat, cover and continue to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until meat is tender. Add more water in 1/2 cup increments as needed.

Add liver spread and stir until well distributed.

Season with salt to taste and generously with pepper.

Continue to cook until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve hot.
