I have posted several kinds sisig in this blog and I think this version is not very different from the rest. The only thing you will notice is the simplicity of the ingredients. That’s right, simple ingredients is what an authentic Kapampangan sisig is. There is no mayonnaise or eggs mixed in the sisig which is I think only here in metro manila this has become popular. The recipe here is only using grilled pork cheeks and chicken livers, onions, salt, pepper, calamansi juice and red chili peppers. So if you are in search of a simple yet tasty sizzling pork sisig, and like to cook it in the Kapampangan way, I think you should try this one!
