Monkey Meat
Ingredients:

Instructions:
>>I am new to the group and have a request. I remember from back near
"the dawn of time" the early 1970s when I was in the US Navy and stationed
in the Philippine Islands. There was a substance that was somewhat
disparagingly referred to as "monkey meat" that was sold along the
street out side the bars. I know it was usually a pork BBQ. I have
tried to get the exact flavor but have not quite made it yet. If anyone
has a recipe I would certainly appreciate a response. If my memory
is not failing I remember it was biased on soy sauce, lemon juice
and MSG. Cooked on a wooden skewer over a charcoal grill.<< As luck
would have it, my mother-in-law is from the Philippines, and happens
to be visiting right now. According to her, the pork is sliced, and
then marinated in 7-up. That's right, 7-up. She says that if you want,
you can add a little garlic and/or onion to the marinade. The pork
is then skewered and grilled, basting with soy sauce while cooking.
The MSG is an ingredient that I'd add, but may not be for everyone.
It sounds bizarre, but the 7-up would give a citrusy taste like the
lemon juice you mentioned. |
