Sisig

 


Sisig is another food which became my favorite when we had gone to a formal bistro aiming for lunch. And I’m actually the first one who pointed it out for our meal because the aroma alone made me hungrier.

Sisig is a Kapampangan term which means "to snack on something sour". It refers to a process of preparing fish and meat, especially pork, which is marinated in a sour liquid such as lemon juice or vinegar, then seasoned with salt, pepper and other spices.

Setting up sisig comes in three stages: boiling, grilling, and finally frying. A pig's head is first boiled to remove hairs and to tenderize it. Variations of sisig may add eggs, pork cracklings, pork/chicken liver, and even mayonnaise. The dish is typically served as sizzling sisig, a whole uncooked egg is placed on top as the main garnishing.

So savor this sour sisig for your sweet summer. 
