Dinuguan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dinuguan is a popular Filipino dish also known as pork blood stew, "chocolate meat", or "chocolate pudding". It is a savory stew of blood sausage and offal simmered in a rich, spicy gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili and vinegar. The term dinuguan comes from the word dugo meaning "blood". It is recognisably thick and dark, hence the Westernized term "chocolate pudding". It is similar to the Singapore dish pig's organ soup, differing in that it does not contain vegetables and has a characteristically thick gravy. Due to the offal it is frequently considered an unusual or alarming dish to those in Western culture, though when you think about it, it is rather similar to European-style blood sausage, or British black pudding, only in a saucy stew form. It is often served with white rice or a Filipino rice caked called puto.
