Kilawin

Description

Kilawin is a term which refers to a broad group of Filipino dishes which are similar to the Italian crudo or the Peruvian ceviche . It can employ meat or seafood which is cut or sliced, then blended with vinegar, citrus juices, and a variety of spices and fresh herbs. Even though the ingredients are sometimes pre-cooked, they are most commonly used raw, allowing the vinegar to act as a cooking agent. Kilawin is typically served as an appetizer or a side dish during traditional Filipino beer-drinking sessions.
