ENSALADANG CRISPY DILIS

Finally, after 10 years, I'm back here in Makati. Miraculously, I got a job. Well, I said miraculously because amidst the surge of the Covid-19 and after so many job applications I have sent to different companies, I finally got a job. Not just a job, but a dream job in a dream company. Oh yeah, for me it is a miracle and an answer to my fervent prayer.

Being here in the city, I so missed the province so much. I can't go home because of the ECQ. Holy week had passed and now, April 9th holiday also has passed, still I cannot go home. And yeah, I am craving...craving for a lot of foods in the province like the "tuyo" or dried fish, buro or fermented rice, oh my , those are my favorites. 

I know I have to do something to ease that cravings. I walked around and look for those kinds of foods. And voila, I found one - the ensaladang dilis. Oh my gosh, I am just so happy.


I am sharing you the recipe of Ensaladang dilis below and believe me, you will need more rice to this kind of dish.

Here it goes:

1 cup dried dilis. 4 mediums size tomatoes, 1 green mango - thinly slice into cubes, 2 medium size onions ( better if you have sibuyas tagalog ) diced. 2-3 chilis ( red and green ), 5 tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp. calamansi or lemon juice.

  1. Fry the dilis until crispy. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine, tomatoes, cube green mango, onions, chilis and fried dilis.
  3. Add the vinegar and lemon/calamansi juice. Mix.
  4. Taste and add salt if needed (since dried dilis is already salty).
  5. Serve and enjoy!
