Dinuguan (Chocolate Meat)

Dinuguan (Chocolate Meat) © Efren

Dinuguan or Pork Blood Stew and sometimes called Chocolate Meat comes from the Filipino word 'dugo' which means blood. This is a savory stew of meat (some include lungs, kidneys, intestines, snout, heart, and ears of pork) simmered in a rich dark gravy of pork's blood, garlic, long chili, and vinegar. Here in Australia - we buy our pork blood jelly at our local asian shops. 

The dish may look unusual but the taste will dance to your senses. Try it and enjoy!
