Get to know more about Bopis Recipe
Like most traditional recipes, there is no definite recipe for Pork Bopis. The recipe may differ from region to region and family to family with regards to ingredients, flavoring, and spices. In Laguna, there is another version of cooking Bopis. We called it Pinaniki – Ginataang Bopis ng Laguna. The only difference is, we don’t use annatto for food coloring, and it was cooked with coconut milk. Depending on one’s own preference, possible list ingredients that can be added for variation includes carrots, ginger, coconut milk and bay leaves. Seasoning like salt, pepper, fish sauce, soy sauce, “Siling Labuyo” (bird’s eye pepper), “Siling Haba” (finger chilies) can also use.
Pork Bopis Recipe Preparation (Summary)
For those who want to taste this exotic dish and who crave for it, here is my home-made recipe. Rinse the pig’s lungs and heart and boil on low to medium heat for about 30 to 40 minutes or until tender. Make sure the inside of the heart is done. To make sure it is done, poke the lungs and heart with a fork or a knife – if the blood is not come out inside the meat, then the meat is tender and done. Drain and allow to cool before chopping into bite-size pieces or minced well. Pork liver can be added for additional flavor, diced it into small pieces. Heat oil in the pan, sauté garlic and onions until became brown and translucent. Add the minced pork lungs and heart, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Add the vinegar and let simmer without stirring for few minutes or until the vinegar is cooked. Add bird’s eye chilies and simmer until sauce is reduced and almost dry.
