Mama Sita specializes in Filipino spice pastes and sauces of high quality that taste like homemade. Pinapaitan is a bitter stew from the Ilocano region in the north of the Philippines. Traditionally this dish is prepared with goat meat and organ meats. Bile gives this stew a bitter taste. Nowadays goat is often replaced by beef. The taste of the food is exotic but when you’re used to it, you will love it. Pinapaitan can also be prepared without bile because Mama Sita’s Ilocano Pinapaitan (Bitter Stew Mix) already contains spices and aromas that give the dish a bitter taste and at the same time release a delicious citrus flavor.
