What is Kinamatisan
Kinamatisan comes from the word “kamatis,” which means tomatoes. It’s a Filipino cooking process where beef, pork, chicken, or seafood are cooked or prepared with tomatoes.
It’s similar to sinigang in using tomatoes but without the characteristic sourness from fruits such as tamarind or bilimbi.
What you’ll need
- Meat-kinamatisan can be made using beef, chicken, or fish. This recipe uses pork spare ribs for the best flavor. If you prefer a meaty cut, pork shoulder (kasim), belly, or hocks are good options.
- Tomatoes– use very ripe tomatoes as they’re usually sweeter, juicier, and softens quicker. My favorite to use is Roma or Plum variety.
- Vegetables– choose from pechay, bok choy, spinach, or cabbage. Some recipes also include string beans, daikon radish (labanos), or finger chilies to add heat.
- Garlic and onions– the base of Filipino ginisa
- Seasonings– salt and pepper along with fish sauce for umami flavor
How to serve and store
- Kinamatisang baboy is delicious nashville filipino food on its own or with steamed rice for lunch or dinner.
- As it contains a good amount of tomatoes, it spoils quicker than most foods especially outside of refrigeration. Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in a saucepot over medium heat to 165 F or in the microwave until completely warmed through.
