Warek Warek

Warek Warek is a pork offal dish of twice cooked pork ear and collar, first boiled then broiled, seasoned with lemon, ginger, onion, garlic and chillies then tossed in mayonnaise

One of my favourite Filipino provincial cuisine from the Ilocanos, the extensive use of weird unknown vegetables and offal cuts might not appease everyone, but this cuisine just know how to make them really delicious. One of those dishes is this Warek Warek, made with pork ears and fatty pork neck which most people will never eat even in their wildest dream but when combined with the spices used and cooking method becomes a really appetizing dish that might make you think twice.

It can be eaten as a side dish or ulam, but this is best to be consumed as a pulutan, paired with hard liquor or ice-cold beer, it’s a dish you can’t stop nibbling on.
