About the dish

This festive Chamorro dish is made by slowly spit-roasting a whole pig over an open fire. The pig is usually continuously basted in order to develop crispy skin on the outside and tender, succulent meat on the inside. For a 100-pound pig, it typically takes four hours to roast it. When served, the pig is placed on a tray that is often decorated with various fruits, and it is then set as a central element on the festive table.
