Sisig will always be one of the dishes that Kapampangans are proud of and thanks to the “Sisig Queen”, Aling Lucing or Lucia Cunanan and her Sizzling plate, the dish was reinvented and made more appetizing due to its crispiness. The word Sisig dates back to 1732 when it was included by an Augustinian friar, Diego Bergaño in his Kapampangan-Spanish Vocabulary. He wrote it as a Salad of Green Papaya or Green Guava that has a salt, pepper, vinegar and garlic dressing. The use of meat in Sisig has no clear history. Whatever the origins of Sisig is, one thing is important; everybody loves it. Today, many versions of Sisig are available but Sizzling Pork Sisig Recipe is still the most popular.
Preparing this Sizzling Pork Sisig Recipe requires some patience. You need to boil the pig head’s first then broil or grill it and chop then you add other ingredients like onions and chilis as you cook. Pork Liver is also an ingredient in this dish. You will need a Sizzling Plate which you can buy from the cookware area at the department store or Divisoria. It’s a heavy kitchen tool so you’ll need to be careful using it.
