Рецепт Igado
Igado is an Ilocano dish (Northern province in Philippines), it is nearly similar to Menudo but it’s done the Ilocano way. Usually cooked with pigs internal organs such as kidneys, liver, lungs, heart and flavoured with Ilocos Vinegar. Igado comes from the Spanish word “Higado” which means liver and apparently that is one of the main ingredients of this dish. Having said that preparing for the pork liver is the secret in this dish as common mistake in making this dish is that they cook the liver without marinating them first in vinegar, which ends up really tough rather than having a smooth texture. I remember I saw this technique way back when I used to reside in Baguio and one of my college friends uncle cook this dish a lot and he usually drown the liver in vinegar for around an hour. Using that method will break down the liver and creating that silky pate like texture when cooked.
