Corned Beef Nilaga

Here is another Filipino recipe that you wouldn’t find on a menu at a restaurant. Corned beef nilaga is the Pinoy take on the classic New England boiled dinner: corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes. Instead of boiling a corned beef brisket for hours on end, canned chunky corned beef is used. This hearty soup is ready in 15 minutes; tasting like it took all day to cook.
