Pork Pata Humba
Originating from the Visayas region in the Philippines, Pork Humba is usually likened to the traditional Filipino dish, the adobo. But while Adobo is known for the tanginess deriving from using vinegar, Humba is slightly sweeter thanks to the addition of pineapple juice and brown sugar which then caramelizes and coats the pork hocks. Here’s a tip: you can make this dish with pork belly but do note that while it cooks faster, it might be pricier than using pork hocks.
