Humba pala ang tawag! I grew up simply calling this dish 'Paksiw na Pata'. My mom used to cook this with no mushrooms. No anise. Just banana blossoms, brown sugar, and yes, lots of black pepper. All simmered and reduced to a thick yummy sauce. Awww! Ahh! Humba pala ang tawag! I grew up simply calling this dish ‘Paksiw na Pata’. My mom used to cook this with no mushrooms. No anise.
