Paksiw na Pata Batangas Style



Paksiw na Pata Batangas Style. Cooking pata paksiw style using vinegar only, yes no soy sauce and with some broth. Paksiw na Pata in vinegar only is not limited to Batangas, I have tasted Paksiw na Pata or Pork without the usual soy sauce on other parts of the country. The pork is simply stewed vinegar and garlic, some time with onion and or peppercorns. This version of pork paksiw is normaly or originaly cooked by our grannies and at rural areas, where at times soy sauce may not be available.


Paksiw na Pata


Paksiw na pata in vinegar only is very simple to make and with minimum ingredients. Pork knuckles and feet are preferably used which is boiled with garlic and onions till tender and seasoned with vinegar and salt. I contrast with Paksiw na Pata with soy sauce with sticky sweet and sourly sauce Paksiw na Pata in vinegar only is cooked with some salty sourly broth which is best mixed with steaming white rice.

Here is the recipe of my Paksiw na Pata Batangas Style, try it.

1/3 - 1/2 cup vinegar
