sitot

Sitot refers to a type of food found in the Philippines, particularly in the Bicol region. It is a stew made from pork and pork offal, such as liver, heart, and intestines, simmered in a rich sauce. The distinctive flavor of sitot comes from its primary ingredients, which are usually seasoned with vinegar, garlic, onions, and chilies. The dish is known for its robust and spicy taste, often with a slightly sour undertone due to the vinegar.

The preparation of sitot typically involves cleaning the offal thoroughly before cooking. The meat and offal are then boiled until tender, and the broth is used as the base for the stew. Various spices are added to enhance the flavor, with the amount of chili often adjusted to personal preference, making it a popular dish among those who enjoy spicy food. Sitot is commonly served hot with steamed rice, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. It is a staple in many households and eateries in Bicol, reflecting the region's culinary traditions. The exact ingredients and preparation methods can vary slightly from one family or community to another.
