there is no carrots in Ilocos igado. one key ingredient of igado is the small intestines, they call it SILET in Iloco, the same one they use in chicharong bulaklak. No veggies is added (carrots, peas nor potatoes). to achieve the real flavor of Ilocanos' igado, add small intestines & season with sukang Iloco & salt, not soy sauce.

ingredients of igado
pork meat,liver,potato green peas in can or chicharo and red pepper garlic and union,vinegar and soy souce at paminta pala..imarinate ang karne sa vinegar, soy suace at paminta..
mas masarap kung medyo mamantika ang igado kaya mamili kaya igisa niyo mabuti ang taba ng baboy hanagang lumabas ang mantika,igisa ang bawang at sibuyas then ilagay ang karne hangang matuyo at mgmantinka lagyan ng 1/2 cup water or bahala kayo kung gusto niyo masabaw..kapag kumulo na timplain ng asin or add soy sauce then ilagay ang patato at green peas or chicharo kapaag luto na ilagay ang red bell pepper..
try niyo ganito ako mgluto ng igado..

Igado
Igado is an Ilocano recipe and it is one of the best food in Ilocos. The main ingredients are pork liver, heart,kidney, a little bit of lungs and tender loin. There's no CARROT because if you will put some carrots, the taste will change. Green peas can be added to enhance the presentation.
#5 - Evangeline Q. Quinoy - 10/15/2010 - 13:20
pretty much the same ingredient when I cook "BOPIS" for my family, Santa Maria, IS style Done without the vegetables and the meat is slices kind of small (very tideous). Cook until broth is done inggana ti ag-manteka tapno nasileng ti bibig mo no mangan ka :)

great! I've been wanting to cook this recipe. my father used to cook it for me when I was still young. He originated from the northern part of Luzon in the Philippines. This is similar to what they call in the province baticobre (don't know if I spelled it right) but that's how they call it. I'm going to try the recipe and see how it taste and I'll get back to you later. Thanks. Can anyone tell me the recipe of Miki the soupy one in the Cagayan Valley Province?
