Kilawing Labanos

One of my not-so-favorite ulams growing up is this Kilawing Labanos. I used to pick the liver and the pork from this dish and not eat the radish. I don’t know why I didn’t like it back then but I just didn’t and I find the taste of radish too strong. It maybe the reason why I haven’t cooked it for my family up until now — and since I have matured, I find myself loving this dish.

Kilawin means something that’s raw or fresh that’s cooked by the use of something acidic like vinegar or citrus juice. It’s very much like ceviche. But with this dish, it simply means cooked in vinegar. So don’t be scared, you’re not going to eat raw liver…LOL!

If you love radishes…and I know you’ll absolutely love this dish. It’s an easy one pot dish too and takes 30 minutes to cook.
