Igado

Igado (or higado) is a Filipino pork dish originating from the Ilocos Region in the northern Philippines. Its name means "liver" in Spanish, due to pork liver being its main ingredient, along with pork meat and other offal.

The pork liver, meat, and offal are sliced lengthwise into thin long strips, along with the bell pepper. They are then simmered with green peas and seasoning, producing a dish often likened to the Filipino stew, menudo. Unlike menudo, igado typically use soy sauce, fish sauce (patis) and vinegar, rather than tomato sauce. Potatoes and carrots are also optional.

The dish was a favorite of Elpidio Quirino, an Ilocano, and sixth president of the Philippines.
