Tuyo is a house favorite and easy to do. Usually requested after cocktails or late night hunger pangs of friends who visit.

Gourmet Tuyo Recipe

Ingredients

• Good quality bottled Tuyo in olive oil(I like Connie’s Kitchen)
• 5 tbsp. olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic (slivered)
• 1-2 tbsp. capers (I use the baby capers, the smaller the better)
• ½ cup vinegar (I use Datu Puti)
• 1 red finger chili (sili labuyo)

Procedure

• Sautè garlic till fragrant in olive oil over med high heat. Before garlic starts to turn brown, pour in the whole bottle of tuyo+oil
• Sauté for a minute then add capers, then add vinegar and chopped chili depending on your desired heat level.
• Allow to simmer for another minute.
• Serve warm over steaming hot rice (with an egg… or two… or not, it’s up to you!)
