Filipino Tocino is a sweet pork dish that is traditionally served for breakfast in the Philippines. “Tocino” is a Spanish word that means ‘bacon’ or ‘cured meat’ and comes from back in the days of Spanish settlement of the Philippines.

To make it, Filipino recipes call for using pork pigue or kasim…which is just regular ham shoulder that’s been sliced to a 1/4 inch thickness.  This part is what makes it different…the spicing and curing of the meat.  Various  recipes have a whole slew of ingredients for this but basically its saltpeter, pepper,  regular salt, garlic, sugar, and some anise wine.  The individual slices are then treated with this mixture and placed on top of each other in a container, preferably refrigerated.  At the end of 3 days or so, what remains is the kimchi of pork. The reddish color is from the saltpeter and often makes it look like beef.
