Binignit is a
Visayan people, the dish is traditionally served during Good Friday of Holy Week
.
Names
Binignit is also called giná-tan in
Tuguegarao City, linugaw in Bacolod
, and eangkuga by Akeanons in Aklan.
Binignit is considered a type of guinataán (dishes cooked in coconut milk).
Preparation
The meat of a mature coconut is grated and the "thick" milk (
jack fruit), and tapioca pearls. Sometimes, young coconut meat strips are also added. This is simmered on low to medium heat, to prevent the coconut milk from curdling. Glutinous rice (pilit) is added once the root crops have sufficiently softened and the mixture is brought to a boil; being stirred occasionally until done. Just before removal from the flame, the "thick" coconut milk is added.[4]
The people of the neighboring island of
pearl sago are cooked in a mixture of water, coconut milk and landang, and sweetened by muscovado or brown sugar
.
For the people of Panay, their version contains balls made of glutinous flour, as well as jackfruit. The balls are formed and boiled until they float, indicating that they are cooked. These are then added to the linugaw or eangkuga. This is similar to the preparation of bilo-bilo but the locals call it by eangkuga or linugaw.
Cultural significance
A popular afternoon snack, it is best served when hot. Others serve it chilled or even frozen, eating the dessert much like
Visayan people, the soup is also widely cooked and eaten for the Holy Week, especially during Good Friday when observant Catholics fast and avoid meat.[6][7][8]
