Malabar Spinach, Corn and Pork Soup...this week's post.


Ingredients:

  • pork cuts (I used pork shoulder)
  • fresh corn, malabar spinach (also called alugbati in our part of the world)
  • salt, pepper, Italian seasoning
  • garlic and ginger (squashed)
  • fish sauce (optional)



Procedure:

  • Place pork cuts in pot with water, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic, and ginger. Boil, then keep simmering until tender.
  • Remove the kernels from the corn cob, then place into the pot with the pork cuts. Continue simmering until corn the gets cooked.
  • Adjust seasoning. Once satisfied, turn off heat and throw in the sliced malabar spinach leaves. Cover lid for a couple of minutes to allow the leaves to cook.
  • Best served hot.



My sister's alugbati plant was growing up so fast, I just couldn't resist taking some of it to cook at home. I was afraid my sons wouldn't like it, that's why I sliced the leaves instead of putting them whole in the soup. I really liked the almost earthy-like taste it gave to the broth...am sure I'll do this again when I have the chance. My kids liked it, too. Happy Me! :)
