I usually make my dinuguan <\/em>with pork and offal cuts, but since I piqued G's curiosity enough to try the dish, I used only pork belly in this recipe to pare down the fear factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Dinuguan , which comes from the root word dugo (meaning \"blood\"), is a savory Filipino stew made of bite-sized pork cooked in pig's blood, vinegar, and spices, including garlic, onions, and chili peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fondly referred to as \"chocolate meat,\" the pork blood stew is also called tid tad in the Kapampangan region, sinugaok<\/i> in Batangas, dinardaraan<\/i> in the Ilocos area, dugo dugo in Cebuano, and tinumis <\/i>in Bulacan and Nueva Ecija provinces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's commonly served as a main meal with steamed rice or as a midday snack with a side of puto rice cakes<\/a> to dip and soak up the savory gravy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
