Spicy Bopis Recipe

This Spicy Bopis Recipe is the response to your requests about a spicier version with sauce using the minimum ingredients possible.

If you remember, we were able to post a Bopis Recipe over a year ago. I shot the video when I went to the Philippines. Being there made it possible for me to get all the ingredients that I needed. That recipe was dry version of this dish. I constantly get requests from readers here in North America for the version with some sauce using readily available ingredients. This drove me to make this post.

Being outside of the Philippines can limit our ability to cook Filipino Recipes because of ingredient availability issues. However, things should not prevent us from making our favorite dishes. Let’s keep in mind that there are alternative ingredients. We can also omit some ingredients and still come-up with a similar version of our Filipino Recipes.

Most groceries and supermarkets in this part of the world do not sell pig’s lungs for some reason. Because of this, the main ingredient that I used for this dish is only pig’s heart. You can also use veal heart as an alternative. These ingredients are always available in Mexican and Asian groceries. the other ingredients such as dried bay leaves and annatto seeds can be purchased in the same stores.

This recipe makes a good “pulutan”. Feel free to add more chillies depending on your heat tolerance. Since there is a sauce, eating this as a main dish along with steamed rice can get your appetite going. Just a few reminders, if you don’t mind. Take it easy on the rice, If you have diabetes. Try only a small portion of this dish if you have gout. Happy eating everyone!
