Pata tim
Pata tim is a delicious and popular Filipino braised pork dish. It typically consists of tender pork leg or hock, simmered in a flavorful combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and spices. The dish is slow-cooked until the pork becomes incredibly tender and the flavors are deeply infused. Pata tim is often served with steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds pork hock or leg
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup oyster sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until they become fragrant and slightly browned.
- Add the pork hock or leg to the pot and brown it on all sides. This will help enhance the flavors.
- Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce, and stir well to coat the pork thoroughly.
- Add the water, bay leaves, and black pepper to the pot. If desired, you can also add sugar for a hint of sweetness.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until the pork becomes tender and easily falls off the bone. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once the pork is tender, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking the sauce until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- If you prefer a glossy finish, you can brush the pork with some of the thickened sauce and roast it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- To serve, place the tender pork on a serving platter and pour the thickened sauce over it. Garnish with some chopped green onions or cilantro, if desired.
- Pata tim is traditionally enjoyed with steamed rice.
