sisig is a popular Filipino dish made from chopped and seasoned parts of a pig's head, typically including the cheeks, ears, and snout. It is often grilled or fried, giving it a crispy texture. The dish is usually served on a sizzling plate and topped with onions, chili peppers, and sometimes an egg, enhancing its flavor and presentation. Originating from the Pampanga region, sisig was initially created as a way to utilize leftover meat. Over time, it has evolved into a beloved staple in Filipino cuisine, often enjoyed as a pulutan, or appetizer, alongside drinks.
