Рецепт Sinigang na Bulalo (Cansi)

Sinigang na Bulalo Cansi is a famous beef soup dish of Iloilo and Bacolod. It is suppose to be the combination of two well known Filipino dishes, beef bulalo (beef shank with marrow soup) and beef sinigang (beef in sour broth). But actually the vegetables used in sinigang and bulalo are nowhere near to the cansi. The ingredients that are used the cansi are lemon grass, annato, langka and batwan (or batuan) that are not found or used in bulalo or sinigang. Batwan is a souring agent used by Ilonggos and the areas of west Visayas. (In this recipe kamias is used as a substitute for the batwan. Just in case kamias is also not available, instant sinigang mix can be used.) So if you don’t live on these areas, I think this fruit is unknown…
