Sisig (SEE-sig) is traditionally made with chopped pig's face and served on a sizzling hot platter. The mushrooms here mimic the chewy-meaty quality of pork and don't take nearly as long to prepare. You still get all the salty, tangy, and spicy flavors. And no face gets chopped!

Meat Pies
Meat pies are one of the first things I learned how to make in Home Economics class in secondary school–shortcrust pastry, filled with a minced meat mixture that had potatoes and carrots too. I remember this being a big deal because at the time, meat pies were some of the quintessential fast food treats offered at quick service restaurants, and my parents did not give us fast food often. The ability to make them at home was a very big deal to me. With the holidays around the corner, homemade meat pies with buttery crusts and lush meat filling are the perfect snack.
