I enjoyed your beautiful description of how this recipe evolved. I am American-born of Puerto Rican parents, and only recently became interested in cooking this dish. I love soups and stews and this one has become one of my favorites. Your recipe is the best I have seen and I thank you for it.
stew pig ears and trible puerto rican style
In Brazil, churrasco (barbecue) often includes chicken hearts, roasted on a big skewer. The typical feijoada sometimes contains pork trimmings (ears, feet and tail). Gizzard stews, fried beef liver and beef stomach stews used to be more popular dishes in the past, but are nonetheless still consumed. Buchada, a popular dish from the northeast of the country, consists of the diced organs of a goat, which are seasoned and then sewn inside the goat's stomach ("bucho") and boiled. Dobradinha is a dish made with tripe, a variation of the northern Portuguese dish. In the Northeast of Brazil the sarapatel is a very common dish, usually prepared with pork organs (heart, liver, intestine, and kidneys) boiled along with coagulated pork blood in a spiced stew.
In Japan chicken offal, especially the gizzard, heart and liver are skewered and grilled over charcoal, wood or bamboo as yakitori. They are then served alongside drinks in a traditional dining and drinking establishment called an izakaya. Offal originating from cattle is also an ingredient in certain dishes (see yakiniku). However, traditional Japanese culture mostly disdains offal use from large animals due to the lack of a long tradition of meat-eating, since Buddhist Japan was a largely vegetarian nation (except for the consumption of fish and seafood) prior to the late 19th century. During the Sino-Japanese War, Japanese troops took pigs from Chinese farmers and slaughtered the animals only for the major muscles (no head, feet and fully disembowelled). This has changed in recent times, and restaurants specializing in offal (particularly beef offal), often Korean-style, are quite common, serving a wide variety of offal cuts (e.g., tracheal rings (ウルテ, urute)), generally grilled or in a stew. This is referred to as motsu (もつ) or (in Kansai) horumon (ホルモン). Gyūtan (Beef tongue) is a specialty in Northeast Japan and has spread to all of the country. In some parts of Japan, such as Yamanashi, Nagano, Kumamoto, etc., they eat horse offal to be served as simmered dish etc.[citation needed]
A non-halal offal dish is popular among Chinese Indonesian community. Sekba is a Chinese Indonesian pork offal stewed in mild soy sauce-based soup. The stew tastes mildly sweet and salty, made from soy sauce, garlic, and Chinese herbs. It is a popular fare street food in Indonesian Chinatowns, such as Gloria alley, Glodok Chinatown in Jakarta. The types of pork offal being offered as sekba are pig's ears, tongue, intestines and lungs.[9]
In the Philippines, people eat practically every part of the pig, including snout, intestines, ears, and innards. The dish sisig from Pampanga is traditionally made from the skin on a pig's head, and it also includes the ears and brain. The dish dinakdakan from the Ilocos Region also includes the same pig parts, while warek-warek, also from the same region, uses pig innards. Dinuguan is a particular type of blood-stew (depending on region) made using pig intestines, pork meat and sometimes ears and cheeks usually with a vinegar base, and green chilli peppers. Pig's blood is also the main ingredient of pinuneg, a blood sausage made in the Cordilleras. Bopis (bópiz in Spanish) is a spicy Filipino dish made out of pork lungs and heart sautéed in tomatoes, chilies and onions. Pieces of pigs' lungs (baga) along with the tendons (litid) are also skewered and deep-fried, and are served as street food in Metro Manila. Another treat is chicharong bulaklak which is made by frying a pig's bowel mesentery until crispy.
Isaw is a street food popular in the Philippines made with pig and chicken intestine pieces which are skewered, barbecued, and dipped in vinegar before eating. Other street food that are prepared in a similar way are pig ears, skin, liver and coagulated blood cut into cubes, and chicken heads, necks, feet, and gizzards. On the other hand, chicken gizzard and liver are also cooked together adobo style, and are served as a viand eaten with rice.
Offal dishes from many other cultures exist but the appeal is usually limited to the immigrant communities that introduced the dish. For example, chopped liver, lungen stew, and beef tongue (especially as used by Kosher delis) in American Jewish culture, or menudo in Mexican-American culture.
Black beans, pork, and beef come together in this national dish to make a hearty stew. A toasted flour mixture called farofa and white rice are typically served as an accompaniment to soak up the flavors. If it's made traditionally, many parts of the pig are cooked down, including the feet and ears!
Juicy pulled beef is served alongside stewed beans and rice, which togther represent the three stripes of Venezeula's flag. Pabellón means "flag," and it's also a reference to the Indigenous, African, and European backgrounds of the Venezuelan population. On the side, you'll find tajadas (fried plantain slices), and sometimes queso fresco.
Bold layers of Cajun flavor and hardy vegetables combine with sweet shrimp to create a dish that's sure to satisfy. Signature gumbo vegetables like earthy-sweet okra, thick-cut celery, sweet onion, and bell peppers seasoned with Creole and filé powder lend their unmistakable flavor profile to the tender shrimp that is the star protein in this Southern-style stew. It's thickened by a slow-cooked dark roux that brings a deliciously nutty and smoky element adding yet another layer of flavor. Serve with a scoop of rice, a garnish of chopped scallions, and a big spoon. 2ff7e9595c
