🧂 Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork

  cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 ¾ cups pork blood

  dugo
• 1 cup onion

  chopped
• 6 cloves garlic

  minced
• 2 teaspoon beef powder
• ¾ cup water
• 20 grams tamarind soup mix

  (half of the content of tamarind soup mix packet) Add more if you wanted it more sour
• 2 pieces bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon Oil

  for sautéing
• Siling haba or long chili

  chili peppers, to taste
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• Salt

  (This is optional as tamarind soup mix is already quite salty)

Instructions

• 1 First, prepare the ingredients by chopping the onion and mincing the garlic. Cut
  the pork into bite-sized pieces.
• 2 In a large pot or deep pan, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is
  hot, sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent. Then, add the minced
  garlic and cook until it becomes fragrant.
• 3 Add the pork pieces to the pot and cook them until they are browned on all
  sides. Once the pork is browned, sprinkle in the beef powder and stir to
  combine. Add the bay leaves and sili (chili peppers) to taste.
• 4 Next, pour in the water and the tamarind soup packet, stirring well to dissolve
  the tamarind. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the pork is tender,
  which should take about 20-25 minutes.
• 5 Slowly pour in the pork blood while stirring continuously to prevent it from
  curdling. Continue to simmer the stew, stirring occasionally, until the blood
  thickens and the flavors meld together, about 10-15 minutes.
• 6 Taste the stew and add sugar as needed to balance the tanginess and enhance the
  overall flavor. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
• 7 Before serving, remove the bay leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice. Enjoy your
  delicious and authentic Pork Tinumis!
