Filipino Recipes for Meat Lovers

Ask any Filipino what his/her favorite viand is and you’ll get a fairly small range of answers: adobo, sinigang, barbecue, roast beef. Filipinos are born meat lovers, and Filipino cuisine is naturally heavy in meat and meat-based dishes. Part of it is because livestock is one of our top industries. Sure, we have our vegetable soups and salads, but an everyday meal is rarely complete without a serving of meat.

But once in a while, we get tired of the same old meat dishes. Even the world’s most passionate meat lover can’t eat the same adobo recipe for a week. But that’s the best thing about Filipino food: no two Filipino recipes are alike. Whether it’s an extra pinch of salt or a whole new set of spices, you can always add your own personal touch to the old recipes and come up with something new. If your meat dishes could use a little boost, try these unique Filipino cooking recipes.
