Nilagang Baboy

Every family has a variant on this beloved Filipino recipe—from the choice of vegetables down to the cut of meat chosen, nilagang baboy is a comforting dish associated with rainy days and family dinners, meant for sharing. This recipe makes use of either the rich pork belly or the more flavorful ribs, with the option to substitute it with beef if you so desire. The traditional accompanying vegetables—cabbage, pechay and potatoes—add not only nutrition, but a bit of lightness and crunch from their freshness to elevate the earthy, savory goodness of this dish.
