HOW TO COOK SINAMPALUKANG BABOY

How To Cook Sinampalukang Baboy (Pork and Tamarind leaves) –This recipe I am going to share with you is another kind of dish cooked with tamarind leaves or we call talbos ng sampalok in tagalog. Somebody read my post about my Sinampalukan recipe using chicken as its meat and she asked me if she could use pork instead of chicken. I said yes. Not all of us would prefer chicken so this recipe we are going to cook is about Sinampalukang Baboy or Pork with Tamarind leaves. To me, chicken and pork are even depending on what dish I am going to cook and In our kitchen, we cook both from time to time. If you want to cook Sinampalukan but you want to make it little cheaper, chicken would be recommended because manok is cheaper than pork. In cooking this dish, if you can not find chili leaves, you can use malunggay leaves or spinach. Here is how to cook Sinampalukang Baboy:
