alisuppe
Alisuppe is a dish originating from the northern regions of the Philippines, particularly popular in the Ilocos provinces. It is a type of stew characterized by its sour and savory flavor profile. The primary ingredients typically include various meats, often pork or chicken, simmered with souring agents like kamias (bilimbi) or tamarind. Vegetables such as string beans, eggplant, and bitter melon are also commonly added, contributing to the dish's texture and nutritional value.
The preparation of alisuppe involves boiling the meat until tender, then adding the souring fruits and vegetables.
