Guisadong Patola with Ground Pork

Patola is one of my favorite vegetables. I like how subtle it tastes yet quite distinctive and its soft texture you get can still have a bite with it. It deliciously blends with other vegetables when made into dishes like laswa or tino-um with mushrooms. It's also cooked with miswa for a great tasting soup.

Here's a basic recipe for Ginisang Patola with Giniling which can also be made into a Miswa Soup.
