Dinuguan Recipe [ Blood Stew ]
For people visiting the Philippines for the first time, this is another dish that we recommend you should try, Dinuguan.
Dinuguan is a stew using mostly pork offal as the main ingredients such as kidneys, lungs, heart, snout, intestines, etc. Depending on the cook’s preference, at times, pork meats are used in a more significant portion, especially for those who are not comfortable with offals. Of course, what makes this dish unique is the use of blood that makes the look of this dish black.
In other parts of the country, this dish is called in various names. In Batangas, it is called sinugaok, and in Ilocos, it is called dinardaran. The Ilocanos sometimes add some crispy chicharon for an added texture. The dish is also called dugo-dugo in Cebu; rugodugo for the Warays; champayma for the people in Northern Mindanao, and tinumis in Nueva Ecija and Bulacan. The preparations/recipe also vary depending on the region.

When my friend american visited my place in philippines. The menu that I gave him to taste was bloody, it was called dinugo an, Blood of pig is a very tasty dish with a lot of protein and it is so delicious dinugo an is my one favorite dish, dinugo an is delicious without articles. Only blood and meat and liver are delicious and what we called perpilia or intestine. Because others article are bitter. Liver, intestine, blood, and (buy’on) meat is vert the best too.
This dish is a stew made with the blood of a freshly-slaughtered pig, some are made of beef but my Grandma cooked this made with the blood of chicken.
We call it Dinuguan in Filipino. Usually cooked using a mixture of pork/chicken lungs, intestines, liver, gizzard and meat. There are many kinds of Dinuguan texture depends on the localization where it made.. Here in Negros Occidental, it looks like thick and oily. It has a sour taste because we put lots o lemon grass and vinegar to illimenate fetid smell of internal organs of pork/chicken..
Try to taste and surely you will forget your name..
