Ingredients
  

  • 600 g Pork Kasim (cut into small cubes)
  • 400 g Pork Liver (cut into small cubes)
  • 500 g Ground Pork Lungs
  • 3 tbsp Cooking Oil
  • 8 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 piece Onion (chopped)
  • 3 pcs Bay Leaves
  • 1 tbsp Dried Oregano
  • ½ cup Vinegar (for marinating liver)
  • Additional Vinegar (for the dish, about ¼ cup)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the pork liver and ½ cup vinegar. Let it marinate for 30 minutes. This will help tenderize the liver and give it a nice tangy flavor.
  • Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground pork lungs and sauté until it's browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tbsp cooking oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the onion and cook until translucent.
  • Add the pork kasim cubes into the pan. Cook until the pork is lightly browned and its natural fat starts to render. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the bay leaves and dried oregano. Stir well to coat the pork with the spices. Then, add the cooked pork lungs back into the pan.
  • Pour in ¼ cup vinegar (adjust based on your taste preference). Let it simmer without stirring for a few minutes to cook off the strong vinegar taste.
  • Drain the pork liver from the vinegar marinade and add it to the pan. Mix everything well and cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork liver is cooked through but still tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the vinegar if needed, depending on how tangy you like it.
  • Once everything is well-cooked, turn off the heat and serve your Kapampangan Pork Kilayin with hot rice!
