Air Fryer Crispy Pata
Yung nakapag-air fryer na lahat kmi na lng ang hindi. We are so late to this Air Fryer craze but who cares right?! Hahaha! Still, I'm glad we got one now.
I got our 5.5 L Nutricook Air Fryer 2 from Mumzworld. You can use my discount code MyYellowBells10 for a 10% discount on your purchases. They have everything there. Have you visited Mumzworld website?
It was the first time we used the Nutricook Air Fryer 2 to cook Crispy Pata and it was a success. It has crispy skin and moist and flavorful meat inside. When I started using this air fryer, I immediately notice the difference in the taste of food. Everything cooked in it tasted so good. The flavor of the food is retained not to mention the easy clean-up process after cooking.
Moving on to the Crispy Pata recipe.
- Boil the pork hock in water enough to cover the meat. Add 1 red onion sliced unpeeled, 1 whole head of garlic sliced in the middle unpeeled, peppercorns, bay leaves, and1 tsp of salt, and simmer for 1 hour to 1 hour and a half.
- Once the pork hock is tender, remove it from the pot, let it drain and cool down, poke the skin with a fork, rub it with enough salt (enough to draw out moisture from the pork hock skin) and refrigerate (do not freeze) overnight uncovered.
When you're ready to cook it the next day...
-Preheat Nutricook Air Fryer (there's a preheat setting there)
-Take out the pork hock from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for at least half an hour to get it to room temperature.
-Wipe excess salt and moisture before placing it in the air fryer.
-Set the air fryer to 180 degrees for 25 minutes two times, and turn the pork hock in between
-Air Fry one more time at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.
Serve with your favorite sawsawan.
