Artem

One of Ilocos’ appetizers is the so-called “Artem”. This is a combination of kangkong stems cut into small pieces, cauliflower, ginger, garlic, onions, and sili labuyo or small chili pepper, all soaked in vinegar for one week or more. By this time, it’s ready to be eaten especially with grilled fish or pork. This can be a very good alternative for expensive appetizers.
