Igado (orhigado) is aFilipinopork dish originating from theIlocos Region in the northernPhilippines.[1][2] Its name means "liver" in Spanish, due to pork liver being its main ingredient, along with pork meat and otheroffal.[3][4]
The pork liver, meat, and offal are sliced lengthwise into thin long strips, along with thebell pepper. They are then simmered withgreen peas and seasoning, producing a dish often likened to the Filipino stew,menudo.[1] Unlike menudo, igado typically use soy sauce, fish sauce (patis) and vinegar, rather than tomato sauce. Potatoes and carrots are also optional.[5]
The dish was a favorite ofElpidio Quirino, anIlocano, and sixth president of thePhilippines.[6]
