Nilagang Baboy is a Filipino-style boiled soup with fork-tender pork belly, kalabasa, and pechay. It's delicious, filling, and perfect for cold weather.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

I learned this nilagang baboy recipe from one of my friends at my old job. He offered me a bowlful one lunchtime in the break room, and I couldn't refuse the sight of a piping hot broth with chunks of meat and veggies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nilaga is nothing new; it's a staple Filipino dish mostly served for everyday meals. His take on this classic boiled soup, however, was interesting. I always make nilaga with beef and have never really tried pork. His version also uses kalabasa and pechay instead of the usual potatoes and cabbage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a curious combination that actually works! The kalabasa adds a hint of sweetness to the broth, which <\/span>complements the savory flavors of the dish. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
