Receta Paksiw na Pata Batangas Style

by Ang Sarap

Paksiw na Pata Batangas Style is a type of paksiw where pork leg and knuckles are cooked in a simple mixture of vinegar, garlic and onions. We all know the other version which uses soy sauce and a bit of sugar, this one is its bare bones version made by house moms on budget or in remote provinces where soy sauce at times may not be available. When I first saw this dish long time ago I was quite sceptical, I am not sure what to expect but the minute I tried them I was quite surprised, it tasted like sinigang with hints of paksiw due to the garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns. Like any other paksiw dishes it definitely goes well with hot rice and definitely lots of it, its sour sauce makes you want to have more.
