Ingredients
- 500 grams pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 pieces green chilies
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the pork shoulder. Cut it into small cubes, approximately half an inch in size.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the cubed pork to the skillet and sear until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Once browned, remove pork from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.
Step 5
Finely chop the red onion and garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Slice the green chilies into rings, removing seeds if less spice is desired, and add to the skillet.
Step 7
Return the browned pork to the skillet. Mix in the coconut aminos, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure everything is coated and cook for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Chop the cilantro and sprinkle over the top before serving.
Step 9
Transfer the sisig to a hot sizzling plate if available or serve directly from the skillet for a true sizzling experience.
Step 10
Serve immediately while hot, garnished with extra lime wedges if desired.
