Pinatisang Manok

October 13, 2016 by Liza Agbanlog Leave a Comment

Pinatisang Manok Pinatisang Manok is a Filipino dish that I consider a comfort food. Growing up, my mom and aunt would make us a similar dish called pinatisang pata (pork hock). The Filipino word “pinatisan” means to be “flavored with fish sauce” and you can definitely taste it. I am glad that I am able to make this simple chicken dish using chicken, spinach and a few other ingredients that are readily available in my pantry. Pinatisang Manok

In this recipe, I used a mixture of chicken thighs and drumsticks. To make the dish a bit healthier, I removed the chicken skin. First, the chicken pieces are sautéed in garlic, onion and ginger until browned. Afterwards, the chicken pieces are flavored with fish sauce and then simmered for half an hour. Spinach and serrano peppers were added at the final stage of cooking.  Normally, pepper leaves are used, but I prefer spinach because it’s always available at the grocery store. Enjoy!
