Pinakbet Ilocano (Mixed Vegetable Stew with Crispy Pork Belly)

{{totalReview}}
Pinakbet Ilocano is a healthy dish that is made with a variety of vegetables such as eggplants, bittermelon, and Sigarilyas, also known as winged beans. A dash of Bagoong (fermented anchovy sauce) is also used to help give this dish its distinctive flavor. While most recipes call for the use of squash, this version of Pinakbet Ilocano uses Bagnet (crispy pork belly) for some added protein. Whip this up for lunch or dinner and serve with rice while it’s still hot.
