In celebration of National Heroes’ Day, GMA News TV presents “Sa Hapag ng mga Bayani,” a two-part feature on the traditional dishes once enjoyed by our national heroes. Hosted by Youth Ambassador for the National Commission for Culture and the Arts Dingdong Dantes, the special uncovers the stories behind select heirloom recipes from significant periods in our nation’s history.
INGREDIENTS:
1 native chicken
1 small onion, chopped
1 small ginger, chopped
1 medium-sized unripe papaya, peeled, deseeded and cut into cubes
2-3 cloves of garlic, crushed and minced
Chicken’s blood
A handful of uncooked rice
Sili leaves
For the dipping sauce:
Cooked chicken’s blood
Chili peppers
Calamansi
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Butcher the chicken and drain its blood into a small bowl with a handful of uncooked rice. Set the blood aside until it coagulates.
2. Dress the chicken, making sure that all feathers are plucked, the innards removed and that the chicken cavity is cleaned.
3. Saute the garlic, onion and ginger. Add the chicken, cut up into small pieces.
4. Add about a cup of water.
5. Add the blood and rice mixture.
6. Pour another cup of water into the broth until the soup thickens. When the chicken pieces are tender, add the unripe papaya and let simmer.
7. When papaya pieces have softened, add the sili leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Remove from heat when sili leaves have wilted.
9. To make the dipping sauce, crush some chili peppers into about a spoonful of cooked chicken blood from the tinola broth.
10. Add the juice of one to two calamansi.
