Filipino cuisine is wonderfully complex, not just because of the regional differences within the country, but also due to the influences from Spanish, Chinese, American and various other cultures who (often forcibly) settled in the archipelago. Here are a few Filipino recipes to put on your table.
Pancit
Pancit started off as a Chinese dish of stir-fried rice noodles, but gets its unique taste from the liberal use of sour ingredients – white vinegar and calamansi – which are so beloved in the Philippines.

Bicol express
I’ve eaten many variations on this dish of pork belly simmered in coconut milk, and while they were all slightly different, they were all delicious. This version is very rich, but feel free to adapt it to suit your tastes.

Sizzling sisig
This is one of my all-time favourite dishes. It’s often made with the leftover parts of a roast pig – usually the extremities such as the head, feet and tail – but you can start with a fresh pig’s head (clean it, cut it up into pieces that will fit into your pot, then boil it until tender before chopping it up), or pork belly and pig’s ears (essential for the crunch), as I do here. If I have them, I substitute pig’s brains for the chicken livers – both of them give the sisig a slightly creamy texture.
