Don't you love the world wide web? I certainly do. It's mind-blowing the abundance of knowledge and information at our fingertips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take, for instance, this kansi. I am a Kapampangan from Tarlac, and I've never been to Iloilo. But due to the encompassing internet, I don't have to travel to Bacolod City to experience and learn how to make one of their classic soups. All I had to do was a simple Google search. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today was, in fact, the first time I've made kansi, and judging by my contented sighs after lunch, it certainly won't be the last. With fork-tender beef and meaty green jackfruit in a hot and sour broth, it's comfort food at its best! I enjoyed it so much I might have just eaten my weight in rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Kansi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kansi or Cansi is an Ilonggo soup made with beef shanks, green jackfruit, chili peppers, and batwan, a fruit native to Western Visayas traditionally used as a souring agent in dishes such as KBL (Kadyos, Baboy at Langka) and pinalmahan (Ilonggo-style paksiw).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been likened in taste to the traditional sinigang, but I think that is too basic of a comparison. The two may share the same sour notes, but the flavor profile of this Visayan sinigang na bulalo<\/em> is a lot more complex due to the addition of lemongrass and atsuete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
