Dinakdakan Recipe

Pour 6 to 8 cups water in a cooking pot. Let boil. Add salt and pepper. Add-in the pig ears and face. Set the heat to low and continue to boil for 50 to 60 minutes or until meat is fork tender. Strain and set aside.

Boil the pig's brains using a strainer (or a plastic container to avoid brain from disintegrating) and cook for 10 minutes or until they turn white. Remove cooked brains from heat and set aside.

Heat the grill. Grill the ears and face for 4 to 6 minutes per side or until it turns a bit crisp, but not burnt. 

Remove the grilled pig parts from the grill. Let it cool down and start chopping into bite-size pieces.

Combine pig's brain and vinegar in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the ginger, chili, onion, and salt, if needed. Add the chopped pig's face and ears. Tansfer to a serving plate.
