Inihaw na Baboy - Grilled Pork - Air Fryer Ninja Foodi

Inihaw na Baboy translates to Grilled Pork, which is a classic Filipino grilled meat entree. Use a good cut of pork belly or shoulder, fat trimmed. Marinate overnight in cider vinegar, lots of garlic, salt and black pepper. Grill the whole slab on the Ninja Grill if you want to stay indoors. Or on the outdoor barbecue grill if preferred. Serve immediately with a side dipping sauce of spicy vinegar. This is an Asian in America recipe by Elizabeth Ann Quirino.

Cook's comments:

The Ninja Foodi is a brand name for an indoor grill and Air Fryer combined. This is not an ad and I was not compensated by the brand to endorse it. My opinions are my own.
