Kilawin

Kilawin is a term which refers to a broad group of Filipino dishes which are similar to the Italian crudo or the Peruvian ceviche. It can employ meat or seafood which is cut or sliced, then blended with vinegar, citrus juices, and a variety of spices and fresh herbs. Even though the ingredients are sometimes pre-cooked, they are most commonly used raw, allowing the vinegar to act as a cooking agent. Kilawin is typically served as an appetizer or a side dish during traditional Filipino beer-drinking sessions.
