Comments:
Dinuguan (Pork Blood Stew) or Dinardaraan in Ilocano is a Filipino dish usually made from the blood, entrails and meat of a pig. It is sometimes known as “chocolate meat” as the stew has a thick chocolate-like color and consistency. In this recipe the octopus ink is used, instead of the blood, to make chocolate-like color.
