Nilagang Baboy (Boiled Pork with Vegetables)

A Filipino favorite! 

"The only ingredient in this dish that needs to be stewed is the pork. We want to boil that and then simmer until it’s tender. This takes anywhere from 1.5 to over 2 hours depending on the cut you use and how tender you want it. I used cut pork ribs and stewed for about 1.5 hours. If you want to season the pork, you can marinate it ahead of time. The rest of the ingredients are fully cooked in about 10-20 minutes in the pot so they are all added after the pork is done." -copied from HungryHuy

Ingredients:

2lbs pork ribs

6 cloves garlic, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

½ kabocha, cut into large cubes

1 chayote, cubed

2-3 cups kangkong leaves (on-choy)

2-3 cups string beans (sitaw)

salt

Cooking Procedure:

1.Rinse meat under running water, add to pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, dump water and rinse meat again. Cover with water, add about 4 tbsp. salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until tender, about 1.5 to 2 hours.

2.You can saute the onion + garlic separately if you want. When the meat is just about done, add onion, garlic, chayote, string beans and kabocha into the pot. Add enough water to cover and salt to taste.

3.In the last 1-2 minutes add kangkong leaves.
