Kinamatisang is a hearty comforting dish bursting with savory, slightly spicy, and sour flavors. The term ‘kinamatisang’ came from the word ‘kamatis’ which is the Tagalog for ‘tomato’  which is the base for the stew and where the sourness and savory flavor will come from. A rich tasty dish that’s made of fresh ingredients and enjoyed in many ways (see ‘questions’ for replacements) and is easy enough to add into your weekend rotation of meal plans. Filled with vegetables and a good amount of ‘meat’.

Questions :

• What to replace the ‘manok’ or ‘chicken’ with ?
  • You can add or replace the chicken with ‘atay’ or ‘liver’ , especially chicken liver. Liver is great for those who are anemic or lack iron. Replacing the chicken completely with chicken liver turns this dish into a “Kinamatisang Atay ng Manok” recipe.
  • For meat lovers, if you do prefer to use beef as a replacement and make “Kinamatisang Baka”. It would be best to use ground beef or smaller cut chunks as these will lessen the cooking time. It would also be better to cook/simmer the beef with the aromatics for 30 minutes or till tender instead of the 15 minutes, adding more water as needed.
  • Aside from beef you can also use ‘baboy’ or ‘pork’ to make “Kinamatisang Baboy”. Using the same method of cooking as the beef alternative.

• Additional ingredients
  • Add in leafy vegetables for more fiber like pechay for “Kinamatisang Manok with Pechay” or cabbage (in Tagalog ‘repolyo’) for “Kinamatisang Manok with Repolyo”.
  • Other vegetables you can try adding aside from carrots and potatoes, you can also add ampalaya (bittermelon) which has a lot of health benefits some of which are lower blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol. Try making “Kinamatisang Manok with Ampalaya”.
  • For those who want a strong salty taste try adding ‘tuyo’ or ‘dried fish’ for “Kinamatisang Manok na Tuyo” it not only adds saltiness but adds an aromatic deep taste.
  • For those who want to add a nice smooth savory flavor, try adding a tablespoon or so of oyster sauce to make a “Kinamatisang Manok with Oyster Sauce” dish.
