Pork Sisig Recipe (Pork Jowl)

One of the most favorite Filipino recipe is the pork sisig recipe made from chopped grilled pork jowl or pork cheeks. Since this dish is so popular, it is served in most Filipino restaurants, fastfoods and foodcarts. It is also a popular pulutan, paired with beer for those who love social drinking. The recipe I have here is a sizzling sisig and it is close to the authentic Kapampangan style pork sisig because it does not have mayonnaise and other flavor enhances such as Knorr seasoning. If you want it to become more presentable and appetizing, you can put it in a sizzling plate and garnish it with raw egg on top.

When buying pig’s jowl, it is not necessary to include the whole head. You can ask the meat vendor to give you the cheek or jowl part of the pig’s head. This part is very suitable in making sisig unlike the  pork belly. The only downside is it is very fatty and there are almost no lean meat in pork cheeks or jowl.
