Insarabasab
It looks like this recipe is very old. When native hunters in old times roast the meat of their hunt over a fire and when the most ready and available ingredients were salt,onion, and sour juice extracted from fruits. Speaking of authenticity, I think this is the real thing. It's not only 400 years old but I think it's way back more. Please share more recipes like this one. Thanks!

I'm hungry!
I like this dish for its simplicity, as most Filipino dishes tend to have a lot of ingredients, and most of them are hard to find when you live abroad!

I am Kapampangan, and I agree that this is not Sisig. This is much better. Simpler, healthier, and does not make use of internal organs, which I tend to dislike. Thanks for sharing!

insarabasab
insarabasab yan hindi sisig o kaya kinilaw kaya nga insarabasab dahil ang salitang yan ay ilokano word.

Chef AD - Saan mo naman natutunan na sisig yan? Haller! Nakalagay na nga kung paano lutuin...pati picture nilagay na nga...mukha p bang sisig sayo yan? Di pa siguro naiimbento yang sisig na yan may insarabasab na sa ilocos. Ilocano dish yan. :-O

Ilokano's fave
uray ayyannot papanam nga suli ti lubong, sigurado nga lutuem daytoy nga putahe, madi makauma uray kasta unay snow na ta ruar mayat latta ti agtuno. For a twist guys marinade the meat with a little bit of soy sauce, vinegar and minced garlic. Then grill, slice ,mix add some hot sili served and dig in. Naimas nga talaga!!!

In cagayan, we call this as "tinuno" or "kilawen". This is very delicious most especially in a family gathering. The best pork recipe aside fom "lauya". 100% sarap maging Ilocano!!.:-D:-)

dinakdakan!
you may also try to bake, especially the pork's tenga, tongue or lomo with the skin intact, deep fried.. but for me tha best a little bit of toyo, red sibuyas and calamansi..
#9 - yang - 01/13/2011 - 14:58
This recipe is more delicious if you
guys use pork meat with the skin intact.With beer on the side, this will be the best pulutan you'll ever had and try to mix some hot sili in it and you are set.
#8 - Manong Beto - 12/13/2010 - 17:09
you may also used ear or face of pork..it taste like sisig too..
#7 - modeza - 08/07/2010 - 07:20
this is actually like dinakdakan....its just like no mayonnaise or pork brain is included.

I love this dish. My father used to cook it for me when I was little.

Others call it "sarabasab" but I heard it from the elders as "insarabasab".
