Pata at Hipon sa Gata na May Monggo at Langka

Pata at Hipon sa Gata na May Monggo at Langka is a dish composed of pork hock, shrimp, unripe jack fruit, and mung beans. All of these ingredients were cooked together in coconut milk and I also added some shrimp paste or bagoong alamang for extra flavor.

This dish is somewhat a combination of multiple dishes. Imagine combining ginataang langka with ginataang hipon and ginataang monggo. That is not all. You can add Bicol express too. It might sound and look overwhelming, but there is harmony in the overall taste of the dish. The flavors are well balanced.

I understand that there can be resistance to new ideas. It is our nature as human beings. I suggest that you try this dish and see for yourself. It is the only way to know. I also suggest that you cook more rice than the usual. You will need it.

The success of this dish relies on the quality of its ingredients. All ingredients need to be fresh and properly prepared. I pre-cooked the pata using a pressure cooker to make it tender. This makes the meat even more enjoyable to eat. You can literally feel it melt in your mouth. The shrimp were deveined to ensure that it is clean, and pan-fried to bring out the flavor. You can use any fresh greens that you prefer. I made use of hot pepper leaves. Malunggay leaves and spinach are also good alternatives.
