Chef Sau Del Rosario reinvents Pampanga's sisig with duck liver
Chef Sau Del Rosario presented his unique version of the beloved sisig on 'Unang Hirit.' On Monday's episode of the Kapuso morning show, the proud Kapampangan chef said he highly respects the classic recipe of the pork dish. While periodic reinvention is always possible, Chef Sau said it's important to taper it with respect to the classic recipe. 'Classic pa rin because ang importante sa sisig, hindi pwedeng palitan masyado ang recipe,' Del Rosario said. 'In fact, ni-submit naming ito sa UNESCO, the recipe, para hindi pwedeng i-dilute [or] palitan, so this has become the mother sisig [recipe],' he added, referring to the classic recipe. According to Chef Sau, the classic recipe or the 'mother sisig,' can give birth to other variants, just like his version with duck liver or foie gras. 'Pwede mo lagyan ng kung anu-ano. 'Yung iba, they put mayonnaise, pero please, sa aming mga Kapampangan, murder sa amin 'yun,' he said with a laugh. 'Normally, [sisig] goes with chicken liver, but for my version, I use duck liver,' he said. On the morning show, Chef Sau presented three versions of sisig: the classic one, another in a pastry shell, and the third – his version – the classic sisig topped with duck liver and calamansi caviar. Internationally acclaimed Filipino chefs are set to gather from August 7 to 10 at the Newport World Resorts for the International Manila Food Festival. The tickets are now on sale. — Hermes Joy Tunac/LA, GMA Integrated News
