Linat an Recipe (Boiled Pork Soup with Lemongrass)
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Linat an is a boiled pork soup dish that resembles Pork Nilaga. Although both dishes might sound the same, there are notable differences that can help us distinguish one from the other.
Linat an makes use of lemongrass (tanglad) and it also requires vegetables that are not present in Nilaga, such as: red bell pepper, string beans (sitaw), and taro root (gabi). As far as I am concerned, this soup dish is more of a Sinigang without a souring agent.
The lemongrass plays a great role in enhancing the flavor of this dish and the gabi makes the texture of the soup thicker, which I find enjoyable. If you have not tried to cook Linat-an before, I encourage you to give it a try. You’ll surely love it!
