I went to the wet market 6:30 am this morning and was able to buy beef brain for 100 pesos, including part of the skull. Back home it was time to make some fresh beef brain kinilaw – ceviche. Here is the simple recipe.
Raw Beef Brain Ceviche Kinilaw
Freshly squeeze some 6 to 7 calamansi.
Chop up 1 big onion, red or white.
Mix with beef brain.
What the concoction does is to kill the blood flavor of the freshly slaughtered brain.
So you taste all brain. Which is quite good. I still have 1/3 of the beef brain left in the refrigerator. I may finish it off tomorrow.
Happy brain hunting!
