In the north, it is usually made with the poultry and red meat innards and for the regions closer to the seas, it is made with freshly-caught seafood. It is usually considered a mainstay in drinking parties partnered with beer, gin, or just about any liquor.
However, since we are Filipinos, there are also people who eat it with rice.
Below is a simple Pork Kilawin Recipe, To make kinilaw, make sure that the meat or innards you are going to use are very clean since you are going to eat it raw.
Usually, in the provinces, people have access to these raw parts because they are the ones who butcher the animal or they are freshly-caught by the fishermen.
If you do not have access to these, always make it a habit to ask the butcher or the vendor from the shop if it is fresh or not, then ask how fresh it is.
Also, it is wise to wash the raw meat or fish thoroughly before throwing in the ingredients.
If you really are icky though and can’t imagine the idea of eating it raw because of health reasons, you can also put the raw meat in the bowl and give it a little boil.
