Dinuguan (Pork Blood Stew)

Rich and savory Dinuguan paired with warm and soft puto — Pinoy comfort food at its best….

I know.

When I posted about these juicy and flavorful Burger Steaks, I told you (and MYSELF) I’m swearing off nuts, beans, mushroom, red meats, spinach, tuna, tuyo, anchovies, sardines, liver, kidneys, soy milk, tofu, shrimp, lobster, scallops, oatmeal, sweets, and alcohol in the name of health.

It was harder than I thought..*sob* specially when husband craved for Dinuguan last week.  Dinuguan is Pork Blood Stew. It is a savory stew usually made of meat and/or offal simmered in a rich, spicy dark gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili, and vinegar. It’s a Filipino favorite and very much similar to similar to European-style blood sausage, or British black pudding.

It’s delicious when served with steamed rice but divine when served with its partner: Puto (rice cake)

This Dinuguan is made of pork belly and beef sirloin. I like combining pork and beef when cooking dinuguan because it makes it more flavorful. I usually add pancreas and intestines too but of course, I had to forego putting some because of, (ehem) health reasons.. LOL!

I’m glad to be back in my kitchen this week….
