Рецепт Tocino
Tocino is a very popular cured meat in the Philippines as well as other Spanish colonized countries such as Cuba and Puerto Rico. Tocino came from the same Spanish word which means “bacon”. To prepare this meat traditionally tender cut of meats is sliced into thin strips then cured in a mixture of anise wine, annatto, water, salt and lots of sugar. Usually left in a room temperature for an hour then followed by 3 days of refrigeration to cure. Once the curing process is done the meat is then boiled in small amounts of water until it evaporates then oil is added and finished off by frying it quickly to prevent burning of the sugar.
This dish is typically consumed at breakfast together with fried rice and fried eggs or Salted Duck Eggs with Tomatoes and the whole meal is now called “tocilog”.
