Sizzling Pork Sisig Recipe

Sizzling Pork Sisig Sisig also known as Sizzling sisig, a Filipino dish made from parts of pig’s head and liver, usually seasoned with calamansi juice or lemon juice and chili peppers.The dish is said to have originated from local residents who bought unused pig heads from the commissaries of Clark Air Base in Angeles City, Pampanga. Pig heads were purchased cheap since they were not used in preparing meals for the U.S. Air Force personnel stationed there. An alternate explanation of its origin is that it is but an innovative variation on an older recipe, which is pork ears and jowl, boiled, chopped then marinated. Preparing sisig comes in three phases: boiling, broiling and finally frying. A pig's head is first boiled to remove hairs and to tenderize it. Portions of it are then chopped and grilled or broiled. Finally, it is fried with onions and served on a sizzling plate. Variations of sisig may add any of the following: eggs, ox brains, chicharon (pork cracklings), pork or chicken liver, and even mayonnaise. This Recipe, is one of the ultimate pulutan companion for beer of the Filipino.
