You can make quite a few versions of Sisig. My favs are pork and bangus. Although, for me there should be no bones in the bangus. As far as I know the original Sisig is made from chopped parts of a pig’s head, like cheeks, snout, ears, brain and tongue. Sometimes liver and heart could also be included. My own recipe is really a quite simple 'cheat', but also very tasty. Just a simple minced and finely chopped pork chop with chilli, onion, liver (optional) and seasoned with calamansi and vinegar. It looks great if you can serve it on a cast iron sizzling dish. Plenty of restaurants in the Philippines also top it off with a raw egg. That's nice too. I do that at home for fun, when it's still sizzling. Ingredients:- pork chops Liver spring onions (Finely chopped) soy sauce (dash) Vinegar Calamansi juice Chilli Pepper (siling labuyo) Crushed and chopped garlic Ginger Black pepper (crushed) Salt to taste (optional if using soy sauce) Oil and butter for frying Secret Ingredient (Magic Sarap just to taste) Optional Cooking Method:- In a wok, fry the pork chops on both sides, then finely chop or coarse mince Fry and then finely chop the liver In the same wok mix together all the ingredients and quickly stir fry to your own liking so hot and sizzling Serve on a cast iron sizzling dish (topped with raw egg.... if you're happy with the source of the egg) Worcester Sauce is a good accompaninment if you're inclined Enjoy with a glass of your fav beer!
I was shocked to discover the Missus whilst liking "sissig" had no idea it was pigs head lol I am personaly not keen on "minced" stuff here as you really dont know what went in for minced beef i always bick a cut of beef and watch its mincing process it "never " looks like the ground beef previously prepared
I remember picking a couple of steaks at the supermarket butcher's, and asking the bloke to mince it for me..... When I saw the mincing machine he was using, in its gloriously filthy state I soon changed my mind and departed the premises.... I cannot say I am fond of minced pork, and the only thing I really appreciate from the pigs head is home made "Brawn".....
Timing Dom where i go they already minced every thing and cleaned the mincer for the day til my order
bicol express is one of my faves..but not too spicy i love sisig as well... sisig at jerry's grill is great! but I get high blood every time I eat it, so no more of that! LOL! sisig on can like Sisig Purefoods works well with me yum! best eaten with soysauce with kalamansi!
