Dark Chocolate Drizzled Salted Fried Eggplant / Blackberry Ketchup / Dinuguan (Pork Blood Stew)



Blog Post & Recipe: Dark Chocolate Drizzled Salted Fried Eggplant


Eggplant gets fried in shallow oil, no salting ahead of time for these, and then they get sprinkled with a bit of salt once they come out of the hot oil and drizzled with melted dark chocolate.


Blog Post & Recipe: Blackberry Ketchup, Really?


This condiment is much more ketchup than sauce. And it's certainly not jam because it has a big vinegary bite. There is also enough complex spice in it to make it much more compatible with grilled meat than vanilla ice cream.


Blog Post & Recipe: D is for Dinuguan (Pork Blood Stew)


The pig’s stomach, intestines, heart, snout, cheeks, and ears are cut into pieces and are all thrown into the mix together with the pig’s meatier butt and belly. The meat and offal are slowly simmered in vinegar seasoned with salt, garlic, onions, tomatoes, and hot chilies. The pig’s blood is then added to the simmering stew while it is stirred steadily to keep the blood from curdling.
