Paksiw na Pata |
Paksiw na pata, just like adobo, is a very simple and easy to prepare dish. And it's not so expensive, too because basically, you only need garlic, vinegar and soy sauce for this dish. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
1 kilo pork pata (pork legs cut into serving-size pieces, soak on a brine solution for at least 1 hour)
2 tbsp minced garlic (I used McCormick; fresh crushed garlic may also be used, of course)
¾ cup vinegar
¾ cup soy sauce (I used kikoman as I love its taste on meat)
½ cup of sugar
3 pieces dried bay leaves
2 packs of dried banana blossoms
Pepper corn
2 pieces siling labuyo (hot chilli pepper)
3 cups water
How to cook:
- Put the water, sliced pork pata, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves and pepper corn in a pot and let it simmer for 60 – 90 minutes, or until the pork is tender. Check it once in a while and remove the scum (grayish-brown substance formed when simmering pork meat).
- Add the vinegar and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Add banana blossoms, sugar and siling labuyo and simmer for 10 more minutes.
That's it, paksiw na pata is now cooked and ready to serve. Share and enjoy! ^_^
