Igado is a Ilocano dish made from pork tenderloin and pig’s innards; liver, kidney, heart. This Filipino recipe is one of the best dish around. Truly authentic while some might find it a bit of exotic.

Some add fried potato wedges to this dish, though the La Union version of Igado uses only bell pepper strips as garnish. In Bicol, they use green chili (siling haba) as garnish.
