Pork Sisig, Pampanga Philippines

Pork Sisig is a popular appetizer that originated from the culinary capital of the Philippines: Pampanga. This delicious dish can also be categorized as the main dish. Pork Sisig was invented by the late Lucia Cunanan. She is popularly known as Aling Lucing – the sisig queen. Originally, pork sisig is composed of chopped pigs face (snout included) and ears with generous amounts of chicken liver. Hundreds of sisig variations are available today ranging from the original pig’s face (mascara) ingredient to a more healthy seafood concoction such as squid, tuna, milkfish (bangus), and mussels.
