HOW TO COOK PORK IGADO




I am going to teach you how to cook Igado. It is another authentic Filipino dish that is good as viand and it is also good as “pulutan”. My mother taught me how to cook it when I was in college and as the time went by, I made some changes to her Igado recipe because I wanted it to be like my original version. You can also make your very own version of Igado because I believe a person eats to please his tastebuds. So do not be afraid to experiment. Looking for a good replacement for a specific ingredient is a good start to experiment. I did it on cooking Igado and I was pleased that I could say my Igado was better than mom’s. So here is my recipe:


½ lb of pig’s intestine (Isaw ng baboy)
½ cup of Tomato sauce
1 lb of boneless pork
2 medium sized Onion (sliced)
¼ cup garlic (chopped)
1 cup of green peas
2 red bell pepper (cut into strip)
1 green bell pepper (cut into strip)
½ cup of vinegar
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste


PROCEDURE

  1. Wash the intestines very well and cut into bite size pieces.
  2. Cut the pork into long but bite size pieces.
  3. Heat oil in pan, saute garlic and onion until light brown.
  4. Add the pork and intestine and gently mix.
  5. Cook until the pork is tender.
  6. Add all the ingredients.
  7. Simmer until the bell peppers and green peas are cooked.
  8. Remove from heat.
  9. Serve with redwine or beer.
