Kinilaw


Kinilaw is a method of cooking nearly anything that is alive and fresh not with fire but with vinegar. Crustaceans may be used, or mollusks, vegetables, fruits, flowers, insects, and even meat. The abundance of food available, the ecology of each region and the understanding and appreciation of readily available materials make eating kinilaw a widely exhilarating experience. Its raw ingredients may range from the commonplace (mackerel, grouper, sailfish, red snapper fillets or venison) to the exotic (spider conch, sea cucumber, the larvae of the coconut beetle or sea anemone).


Ingredients:

1 piece ox-tongue, thoroughly cleaned and sliced
Lea and Perrins sauce
salt and pepper
10 pieces calamansi
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 medium onion, sliced
