Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 medium onion - chopped
  • 250 grams ground pork lungs
  • 250 grams pork ham (pigue) - cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1-1.5 cups water
  • 1 can (85g) liver spread
  • 1 cup coconut or cane vinegar
  • 200 grams pork liver - cut into bite-size pieces
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a skillet, saute garlic and onion in oil over medium heat until limp and aromatic.
  • Add ground pork lungs and cook for 2-3 minutes or no longer pink, stirring continuously to break down the lumps.
  • Add the pork ham and cook for several minutes until edges are lightly seared. Add a cup of water and bring to a simmer.
  • Stir in the liver spread and cover the pan and let it cook until pork becomes tender about 20 minutes. Add more water if needed.
  • Once the pork is tender and water has been greatly reduced, pour in the vinegar and bring to a boil. Let it simmer without stirring. Cook until liquid is reduced to half and becomes thick, about 15-20 minutes. Vinegar will lose most of its sourness by this time.
  • Add the liver and season with ground pepper and salt and cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest for at least  few minutes. (See Note1)
  • Serve with steaming hot rice.
