Nilagang Pata

I’m getting my cooking groove back.  Since I started with the pork adobo during lunch today, I tried my hand with a soup recipe.  For dinner, I prepared Nilagang Pata.  This is another Filipino dish and I’m not yet done cooking more Filipino dishes.  

Whenever I’m craving for Filipino soup, I always go for Bulalo (beef soup) & Sinigang (sour soup).  However, I wanted to try something different today so I went for the non-traditional Nilagang Pata.  The main ingredient is pork but I cooked it in beef broth.  I think it’s safe to say that the flavors of the soup is the winner here!  Sharing my recipe here.  Try it out! 😃
