Igado (or higado) is a Filipino pork dish originating from the Ilocos Region in the Philippines. [1] [2] Its name means "liver" in Spanish for which it features, although it may include other pork meats and offal also. [3] [4]

The pork―liver, meat, and offal―are sliced into tiny pieces and simmered with bell pepper and green peas, producing a dish often likened to the menudo. [1] Unlike menudo, igado typically uses soy sauce (or patis) and vinegar rather than tomato sauce. Also, potatoes and carrots are optional. [5]

The dish was a favorite of Elpidio Quirino, an Ilocano, and sixth president of the Philippines. [6]
