I'm a relatively good girl. I don't eat my salad. I have an absolutely sweet tooth and I like chocolates and candy floss although they make me look kiddish most of the time. I absolutely adore babies and toddlers and I often go gaga over them!
Saturday, October 4, 2008Dinuguan or blood stew is a favorite dish in the Philippines. One of the religious groups though over there called Iglesia ni Cristo condemns this to be consumed as it states in the bible that God prohibits to consume blood for it symbolizes life. One of the main ingredients of dinuguan is the blood of the pig. Filipinos in the past have eaten this dish with rice but some enjoy eating it with puto which is a rice cake that has been fermented. Here is the recipe for the Filipino dish known as Dinuguan or Blood Stew!
These are the ingredients that you need to have and how they should be prepared prior to cooking.
8 oz of pig's blood
8 oz of pork chopped into small cubes
3 cloves of garlic that has been crushed
1 medium onion that has been chopped into small pieces
3 peas in a pod
1 cup of water
1/8 to ¼ cup of vinegar depending on how much of a sour taste you want
4 tbsp of fish sauce
½ tsp of salt
Now that you have all your ingredients ready and prepared, let us go into the actual cooking.
1. Next you will want to preheat a pan. After you have done that, add in the crushed garlic. Saute the garlic and you will know it is finished when it turns a golden brown color.
3. When you are finished with that, add in the onions and saute those as well for a couple of minutes with the garlic that is already in the pan.
4. Next saute the 8 oz of pork for a couple of minutes. When you have done that, add in the 1 cup of water, your desired amount for the vinegar and the peas in a pod. Let everything simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. After that time has passed, put in the ½ tsp of salt, the 4 tbsp of fish sauce and the 8 oz of pig's blood to the pan. Let everything simmer for another 10 minutes.
That is it! You are done! It is ready to be served. This recipe makes 4 to 5 servings. Some people might think it is exotic to eat because it contains the blood of the pig. So if that is what you are looking for, then I would like you to try out this recipe. It is delicious. It's not for everyone though and I understand that. Anyway, happy eating!
