Pork Igado Recipe

Good day!

If you are still thinking of something to cook this dinner? Here is a simple version of an Ilocano Dish Pork Igado.

Pork Igado is usually made of pork meat cooked in soy sauce-vinegar mixture flavored with garlic, onions and bay leaves or laurel leaves.

In some versions, they add pork laman loob or inards like liver and kidneys, and vegetables like potatoes, grees peas, bell pepper and garbanzos. But here, I just used potatoes and green peas.

Pork Igado is somewhat like pork menudo because of their similarity in the ingredients.
