Pork Dinakdakan Recipe

Pork Dinakdakan

Pork Dinakdakan is a dish involving a part of the pig which is referred to as maskara (or mask). It pertains to the face of the pig. The maskara is boiled until tender, chopped, and mixed with other ingredients. This is popular in the Northern parts of the Philippines. Dinakdakan is considered as a beer food, this means that it is served along with beer and liquor.

Adding liver is recommended when making this dish. I posted a recipe for dinakdakan over at Panlasangpinoy.com that involves the use of pork liver . The result was really good. I tried a different approach for this recipe by using chicken liver. This is an ingredient that I use to make a famous Filipino dish called “Sisig”. I think that using chicken liver is a better idea because it has a tendency to crumble right after grilling. Crumbled chicken liver blends well with all the ingredients easily and quickly resulting to a tastier dish.

I like my pork dinakdakan spicy. This was the reason why I had both Thai chili and Jalapeno pepper in it. You don’t need to add as much (or as little) spice in it. Adjust the spice of your dish according to your preference.

Let me quickly share to you what I do when I want to up this dish to the next level. I simply add chopped “inihaw na liempo” (grilled pork belly) into my dish and toss it one more time.

Enjoy this yummy Filipino pulutan recipe. Cheers!
