Cansi is the Ilonggo version of Bulalo and Sinigang combined. It is a type of beef soup with a L AT E S T P O S T S

sour broth. Beef shanks are often used to cook this dish. This recipe version is what I use
every time I crave for it.

Cansi can be cooked anytime. I prefer to have it for dinner during rainy days. I enjoy eating
it with a platter of patis and calamansi with crushed chili. It is best when the soup is piping
hot.

A pressure cooker is recommended to make the beef tender within 30 minutes. If time is not
an issue, a soup pot can be used. The bulalo or beef shank will need to be boiled in low heat

until it gets really tender, which is around 3 hours.

RECIPES
Annatto oil is an ingredient that I want to talk about for the benefit of those who have not
heard about it yet. It is a red-colored oil that I made using ordinary cooking oil and annatto
seeds. “Atsuete” is another name for annatto. Combining 3 tablespoons of atsuete with 4
tablespoons of cooking oil does this. Pour the mixture in a stovetop and heat it (low heat)
until the oil turns red.

In Negros and Panay, the ingredient used to make the broth sour is called batuan (batwan).
It is a type of fruit that belongs to the same family as mangosteen. This recipe makes use of
my ever reliable sinigang sa sampaloc mix, which should be available anywhere — even
here in the US.

I’m was born & raised in Bacolod and oh, how i miss batuan. I looked online and there’s a gamboge paste
from sri lanka that might give a similar taste. It’s been out of stock for awhile. Maybe if you can find this,
try it out. Some replaces batuan with the tree cucumber (bilimbi)..but it’s not close.

Hi Josette,

I’m also ilongga, born and raised in Bacolod. Batuan is indeed best for this recipe or sinigang. There’s
already Batuan powder available, have someone buy them for you at Sabor ilonggo.
