Igado,[1] sometimes also spelled higado,[2] is a Filipino spiced pork liver dish originating from the Ilocos Region of Northern Luzon in the Philippines. Other parts of the pig, including innards and tenderloin, are usually also included,[3] although the liver is considered the defining ingredient of the dish.[4] The pork liver are sliced into tiny pieces and are then usually simmered with potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, green peas, producing a dish often likened to the Tagalog Menudo.[2] The dish is known to have been a particular favorite of Elpidio Quirino, the Ilocano second president of the Third Philippine Republic.[5]
