Brimming pork stew infused with aromatic peppercorn, sesame oil and soy sauce, Pata Tim is a classic Filipino dish with traces in Visayas cuisine. Its name actually originates from “Pata Itim”, which, when translated from Filipino to English, means “black pork hock”. The dish is said to be an evolved adaptation red braised pork dish. This red braised pork, also known as similarly utilizes pork and a savory, thick sauce. This is to give the meat and accompanying side dish– often rice– a burst of rich flavor. Mainly uses braising with moist heat. This is instead of the process of broiling and boiling, which we utilize for Pata Tim. #patatim #pataitim #me #foodie (at Sakáda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdy5qS4haHu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
