There are two version of this Tinumis dish from Nueva Ecija. The first version requires pork blood which is more common to most. The second version is Boy Logro’s version – without Pork blood.
Tinumis is just like any Dinuguan recipe but the only difference is the sampaloc flower (usbong ng sampaloc). Sampaloc flower is used as a souring agent instead of vinegar. Just make sure to mince the sampaloc flower to get all the juice you need from the flower.
It’s better if you can use fresh ingredients. Instead of instant powder you may use Patis to enhance flavor and if there’s no sampaloc flower, vinegar is the best substitute. Happy cooking!
