Tawilis can be cooked in different ways. You can be delighted with the crispy fried tawilis, but there are alternatives you can try if you think you’ve had enough of the fried version. Pinais for one is an example.
The cooking method for pinais na tawilis is similar to that of sinaing na tulingan or tambakol. Pinais na tawilis is cooked with the usual seasoning – salt, vinegar, black pepper, added with the flavor of dried kamias, and covered with the oil of the pork fat at the bottom of the pot.
Pinais is the Tagalog term for wrapping together. About four or five tawilis are being wrapped together by banana leaves. This pinais na tawilis recipe is from our team’s official cook, Daddy Mags.
