Kinulob na Itik
Did you know that Victoria, Laguna is the duck-raising capital of the Philippines?
That makes itik or duck a common fare! A celebrated rendition is the “kinulob na itik.” The term “kinulob” refers to an ancient method of preserving meat by adding salt and sealing it tightly in a clay pot.
In this modern time, the “kinulob” has evolved, and one of the many renditions is the twice-cooked native mallard. It starts by braising the uncut duck in pineapple juice, soy sauce, and spices. Followed by deep-frying until it reaches a glazed amber skin.
