FIL: Ang proseso ng bahagyang pagluluto ng karne o iba pang sangkap sa sarili nitong mantika, bawang, at sibuyas bago ito tuluyang lutuin sa sabaw o sarsa.
EN: to parboil, to sauté, to pre-cook
This is the crucial first date in Filipino cooking. It's the "getting to know you" stage between the meat and the aromatics (garlic, onion, tomato). You're not cooking it all the way, just enough to seal in the flavors and get that beautiful brown color. Skipping the `sangkutsa` is like trying to build a relationship without a foundation—it just won't be as good.
From Spanish 'sancochar' which means 'to parboil'.
A very specific cooking term. The verb form is often 'isangkutsa' (object-focused) or 'magsangkutsa' (actor-focused).
