I don’t recall having eaten Pork Pata Humba for years so I decided to cook this for dinner. And it was an absolute success! The sweet-nature of this recipe fits perfectly to the pork pata, similar to how it is for adobo. For the humba, the x-factor here is the pineapple juice.
This Pork Pata Humba definitely went to my favorite dish as I don’t mind eating it again in the near future. It’s that good! You need to have newly cooked rice when you cook Pork Pata Humba as they are perfect combination and it’s almost criminal eating it without the humble white rice 😀
