How To Cook Pork Giniling With Patatas
This ulam dish is fairly easy to make. The hardest part is prepping the ingredients because it requires the trinity of Filipino cooking: onions, garlic, and tomatoes. This dish has potatoes so you’ll need to prep those, too, and remember to store cut potatoes in water to prevent them from turning brown.
Once you have all your ingredients prepared, time to cook! Sauté your trinity then sear the ground pork. Once seared, season with salt, pepper, and a touch of oyster sauce to elevate its flavor. The potatoes are next together with a little water to help the cubes simmer and become tender. Once the potatoes are tender, this is ready to serve!
Tips To Make The Best Pork Giniling With Patatas

Know how browning meat makes it taste better? The same goes for potatoes! There is something magical about fried potatoes that make them taste super delicious. To make this giniling better, try frying the potatoes first before adding to the dish.

Potatoes are delicious but you can also use other veggies or even add other veggies to this meat-heavy dish. Try adding kamote or sweet potatoes to add sweetness to this dish as will sweet kernel corn.
