My cousin Marites sent this one and sounds yummy! It is one of many favorites in Mambajao, Camiguin.
CHICKEN SUROL
1 whole native chicken (it has to be native chicken) chopped into small pieces
1 fresh coconut, grated or 1 pack of reconstituted coconut milk
3 Lemon grass, including roots (leaves not necessary, cut into a pencil long sticks)
some kalabo (Philippine salbei)
piece of ginger
chillis, small hot ones
some red and green peppers cut into long strips
onions (the local ones with leaves, chopped into small pieces)
Patis (Fish sauce)
Stir the pieces of chicken into a bit of oil, cover and let its natural juice simmer
Add all other ingredients except the unions and stir, add Patis and pepper
Pour the coconut milk (some do it in two portions, first the pure, then the second – mix with water)
Boil and serve while hot.
Interesting recipe. I am a Filipino but its my first time to hear surol and kalabo. It could be local to Camiguin. I usually cook my ginataan with the diluted coconut milk first.
You can delete my comment after reading this, but you should capitalize proper nouns like filipino, chinese american. It should be onions instead of unions
This looks like an interesting recipe
