Patatim

Patatim’s main ingredients are similar to Adobo except that some includes Banana blossoms. To be honest, I don’t know the difference between having it and not having it. Since that ingredient is rare to find, I cooked it without it. Others use Pork Braised Legs and some are hind legs. For this particular moment, I used hind legs.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup of vinegar

2 Pork bouillon cubes

2 pcs small pork hind legs, cut into 1 1/2 inch thick

1 tbsp cornstarch

Fish sauce

5 pcs bay leaves

1 tsp ground pepper (you can also use peppercorn)

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 whole garlic, minced

1 whole onion, minced

Cooking procedure:

1. Boil the pork hind legs, when almost tender set aside.

2. In a casserole, sauté minced garlic and onions with the oil.

3. Add fish sauce, then pork leg and the rest of the ingredients.

4. Bring to a boil and slowly simmer for half an hour or until tender.

Voila! Simple way to cook patatim.
