Some packages also include citric acid in the ingredients and to substitute, I used pineapple juice for its acidity and sweetness. I think it really helps with tenderizing the meat too. Annatto powder is an ingredient in many Filipino dishes that give food a hint of peppery spice, but also a reddish hue, like chicken inasal and kare kare. This tocino recipe is no different because it gives the tocino a slightly reddish-brown hue with no artificial food coloring and no nitrates.
I was able to find annatto powder from my local Seafood City in the spice aisle, but you can also find it in many international aisles too. Tocino has a predominantly sweet, garlicky, and slightly peppery taste. Using pork for this tocino recipe also gives it a fatty and juicy flavor. Tocino is originally from Spain and introduced to the Philippines during Spanish colonization, however, Filipinos have made this dish completely their own by adding flavors that is a hallmark of Filipino flavors—sweet, garlicky, and peppery pork belly.

Hungry Huy. What is Filipino tocino? Thank you so much! Great simple recipe Bebs, and great that no harmful chemicals are used amazed so many online still use nitrate. What's the reason for leaving it on the counter overnight to start with? Great recipe, chose to use this one because you were the first person not to suggest red food coloring to get that signature red color.
Yes, it is not really that important because it will have that nice brown coating once the sugar turns to slightly charred caramel anyway. Much more appetizing, I think. One question on curing. And does it matter what kind of salt? I usually use diamond kosher salt. I've done it several times and it always turned ok, think of how sourdough starters is made.
But if you do not feel comfortable with it, then just refrigerate it. Yes, any salt will work. Like I mentioned in the post, I boil them in some water until it starts to caramelize then add oil. First of all thank you so much for sharing so many of your recipes. I am excited to try this one and the longganisa too. I just wanna ask if I can use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar?
Thank you so much. The recipe is incomplete. Can you give detail about how to exactly cook this? You mentioned in the post that you boil first What does that mean exactly? Boil the whole mixture after pulled out of the fridge, then add oil? Do you use fine salt or coarse salt? Hi, I substitute the salt into curing. Is this going to be a problem. I saw the label of the salt that 1 tsp can cure up to 5 lbs after I already mixed all my ingredients. Oh, yes, I would be careful and not use so much curing salt in a recipe.
You can add more meat and other ingredients so not to put the meat into waste,. I really love this recipe thank u so much. Thank you for this reciipe! Been a long to not be able to eat tocino because of the unhealthy ingredients! This one definitely is the best alternative to a traditional Filipino tocino recipe!
