Day 4: Paksiw na Pata

I love using the pressure cooker especially on a busy night which is perfect for this paksiw na pata recipe. All I need to do is dump my ingredients into the pot, stand back and just let the contraption do its magic. No fuss at all.

I pulled out a one (1) kilogram bag of pata slices from the freezer and dumped it into the pot. Then I filled the pot with water just enough to cover the pork. I also added 3/4 cup each of soy sauce and packed brown sugar, 100 grams of banana blossoms (bulaklak ng saging), two (2) bay leaves and two (2) teaspoons of whole peppercorns. I pressure-cooked it for 45 minutes (but thirty minutes is good enough if the meat isn't frozen) till the meat is cooked tender. Serve with hot rice.
