This is a simple vegetable dish made from radish or labanos. This is a dish called kilawin labanos which is a cooked vegetable dish not a pickled radish. Usually, when a dish is called kilawin, it is not cooked but only marinated in vinegar or lime like a ceviche. I’m not sure also why it is called kilawin maybe because it is cooked in vinegar like a pickle.
