Vine spinach or Alugbati to us Filipinos. As I’m always mentioning I love green leafy vegetables, and this is one among them. Alugbati can be added to any other vegetables like here I got okra and chili. The tuna fillet is from the can and instead of fresh tomato, I added tomato paste. It Turned out good as you could see the sauce is so inviting. Hubby says alone the sauce is enough as viand. Simple cooking but satisfying.

🇵🇭LECHON PINAKSIW NA ULO NG BABOY | LECHON PORK HEAD IN SOUR SOUP SAUCE 👩🏻‍🍳iCOOK

👩‍🍳Delicious leftover Lechon. It’s not a holiday season at home, it’s the month of June 2022. The month wherein we celebrate the commemoration of our Emancipation day as Filipino we hardly spent this with friends here in Vienna. Because of the nature of our work. Most of the time we are on duty. tomorrow June 12, 20222 we will spend it at home with my daughter and my hubby. This was the leftover from my Pork head Lechon. I don’t want to reheat it because the good parts were already consumed, and what is left are the lean meat parts and occasionally some meaty bones. So I decided to cook it as Lechon pinaksiw for today’s lunch.

Pinaksiw na Lechon Ulo ng Baboy | Pork Head In sour Soup Sauce

👩‍🍳Paksiw is the generic name for stews made with vinegar. To make paksiw na Lechon, the meat is slow-cooked in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, peppercorns, bay leaves, sugar which I did not add, salt, and whatever is left over from the sauce. It sometimes happens that there is no leftover sauce. In which case, some substitutions may be in order. One option is to use commercial Lechon sauce available bottled in most supermarkets, just like the one I used here from Mama Sita’s Lechon salsa. Another option is to use a can of the liver spread diluted in a cup of meat broth. Or, if you have a lot of leftover Lechon, you may choose both options and mix them all together.

👩‍🍳”Kamayan na”, eating by hands no fork and spoon. Fried daing na Bangus, boiled okra and eggplant, spring onion and tomato, bagoong with chilli, and basmati rice. For breakfast, rice porridge (lugaw) topped with tofu and pork loin in umami sauce. Then my sauteed chayote with broccoli, carrot and ground meat, seasoned with mushroom sauce for lunch and dinner too. I love it, very Filipino. That’s all for today’s meal prepping at home.

TAGALOG: 👩‍🍳Pagkaing kinalakihan kung saan naging tao. Masarap at masustansiya rin na nakakapagbigay tulong sa ating kalusugan. Huwag lamang sobrahan gaya ng bagoong. Maalat na hindi maganda kung masobrahan nang kain. Dahil sa alta presyon o mataas na blood pressure ganon din sa puso. Bawat bagay na sobra ay hindi maganda sa kalusugan. Ah! basta masarap lahat ito. Nakaka miss kumain nang ganito lalo na kapag sa ibayong dagat ka naninirahan tulad ko. Salamat at kahit papaano ay may mabibili o may pagkukunan kahit na dito sa Vienna na kung saan ako ay naninirahan mahigit tatlong dekada na. Maraming salamat sa biyaya panginoon naming mapagmahal.
