Nilagang Tuhod ng Baka

Nilaga is the easiest dish to cook because it is just technically boiling everything until it becomes one flavorful soul food. Today, though, I’m sharing a version of Nilaga that needs a little more pressure to soften the meat. And that’s because instead of using regular beef, I used tuhod ng baka (beef kneecap)

Tuhod ng baka or Beef Kneecap is perfect for soupy dishes because it’s mostly made up of bones and tendons (litid). That’s why I used my ever reliable pressure cooker to soften the meat. It makes for a soup-er flavorful dish, I tell you.

Since tuhod ng baka is mostly tendons, you might want to add a little more meat –like brisket — if there are going to be a lot of people sharing this dish.

Ang inet pero sige hala, sabaw pa rin!

Ano na bang balita sa world ngayon? Puro Netflix at kain na lang ako dahil nagsara na ang ABS-CBN. Huhuhu.
