Gotong Batangas Recipe

Gotong Batangas is a goto version of the province of Batangas. This is said to have originated in city of Lipa, which is known for having scores of famous restaurants specializing in different local dishes.

Goto usually refers to rice porridge in Filipino. This is composed of innards. It is best when topped with toasted garlic and chopped green onions. Gotong Batangas, on the other hand, is a bit different from traditional goto because it does not use rice. It is more of a soup than a porridge.

Preparing Gotong Batangas is simple. However, it takes some time to get the innards tender. Since I want to cook it the traditional way, I did not use a pressure cooker. Instead, I boiled it in a pot and waited for four hours until it’s ready. It was worth the wait.

In this recipe, I had two kinds of beef tripe: the towel and honeycomb. I wish that I had the other type called the book (it is literally translated as libro in Filipino) to complete the set. I also used small intestines, heart, and beef tendons (litid). All these ingredients were thoroughly cleaned and pre boiled before cooking.

This can be eaten by itself or with a side of white rice. I personally enjoy having this with a saucer composed of chopped onion, soy sauce, chili, and calamansi.
