Lauya (Ilokano Pork Knuckles Stew)

Lauya is an Ilokano dish it usually consist of pork knuckles and vegetables but some variations uses beef knuckles. Lauya is basically a counterpart of the tagalog nilaga dish and obviously the word “lauya” in Ilokano is “nilaga” in tagalog or in English which is “boiled”.

Cooking this dish is simple, just throw everything in the pot then put it on the stove and cook. But this recipe has one more step of smoking the pork knuckles (cold smoke process) that will give the meat a more savory country style flavor. With regard to smoking the meat, don’t use scrap wood like those used in construction or furniture because they have chemicals to treat the wood. Use only natural unprocessed wood like branches of a tree or firewood. You can also grill the knuckles if smoking seems tedious to do.
