Dinaldalem, Pork Liver in Vinegar and Soy Sauce

Dinaldalem
Dinaldalem is sometimes referred to as Igado. Dinaldalem comes from dalem the Ilocano word for liver. The dish is made up of thin slices of pork meat and liver stewed in vinegar and soy sauce. The addition of other pork innards is very common that would make the dish more of igado but still they are regarded as dinaldalem.

Dinaldalem Recipe

To extend the dish shelf life dinaldalem is cooked dry and with out the addition of vegetable ingredients. That was of course the time when refrigerator is not as common especially in rural places. I like my dinaldalem with oily sauce which goes well with rice. I also added some chick peas and green peas this will also add some flavour and of course make the this more appealing.

    im a genuine ilocano from Sto. Domingo Ilocos Sur.

    you may add 1/4 cup of achuete (rinsed-out seeds) to create yellowish pigmentation on the sauce and for added aroma/flavor. It could also eliminate any foul odor (natural "lansa") in the meat.

Sinanglao, Sinanglaw

Sinanglao or Sinanglaw is a beef innards and skin soup, flavored with bile and kamias specialty of Vigan . When you’re at Vigan sinanglao are served at street side eateries in the morning. Version defends on family preferences, some substitute k amias with tamarind or even vinegar. Some even refer papaitan as sinanglao . Ingredients are readily available at the Vigan wet market and are sold in sets complete with coagulated blood and bile. Sourcing the ingredients elsewhere especially if you are overseas is a problem. Not unless you can order from the butcher direct from the slaughterhouse. The papaitan sets or tripe , beef hocks and tail with skin sold in some meat shops when you’re overseas are a good substitute. My sinanglao ingredients are sourced using papaitan set sold at wet market and the beef face and tendons bought from beef section of supermarket. Here is the recipe. Ingredients: 1/2 kilo beef innards 1/4 kilo beef tendons* 1/4 kilo beef beef
