Pork Sinigang sa Santol Recipe – Maasim at Malinamnam

Ang Pork Sinigang sa Santol ay isang flavorful na variation ng klasikong Filipino sinigang na gumagamit ng santol bilang natural na pampaasim. Sa original recipe ng Mely’s Kitchen, ang santol ay pinakukuluan muna hanggang lumambot, pagkatapos ay ginagawang puree bago ihalo sa sabaw ng malambot na baboy, kamatis, sibuyas, at kangkong.

Bukod sa nagbibigay ng natural na asim at kakaibang flavor, ang santol, kamatis, sibuyas, at kangkong ay nagbibigay ng fiber at iba't ibang vitamins, minerals, at plant compounds. Ang baboy naman ay source ng protein, iron, zinc, at vitamin B12. Dahil may karne at gulay na sa isang mangkok, isa itong masarap at comforting na lutong-bahay na bagay ihain kasama ng mainit na kanin.
