Pork Bopis Recipe
Pork Bopis
Bopis is a popular Filipino spicy dish made with pig’s innards like heart and lungs. It is great to serve as an appetizer or main dish, as a mouth watering viand served with cooked rice. The process of cooking this dish is simple but don’t forget to wash and boil the pig’s lungs in water and vinegar since there is a strong odor and offal taste if you will not include vinegar. Some use lemongrass but I think vinegar is the best for removing or minimizing the odor. Depending on your preference, you can cook this bopis dry or with a little sauce. Personally prefer the dry bopis because it masks the pungent odor of the lungs and sometimes I can taste it a little slimy when it has sauce.
