Gotong Batangas Bulalo

When Gotong Batangas meets Bulalo! Gotong Batangas Bulalo is a dish prepared with beef leg bones cooked like a Batangas Goto, a soup dish cooked with lots of annatto seeds, garlic and ginger.

When we talk about goto first thing that comes to mind is that rice porridge we usually have during breakfast or when we have hangovers but in Batangas they do it differently, instead of a rice soup, goto for them is mostly made with beef innards in a savoury soup with lots of garlic and we shared a recipe for that before. Today we are doing a twist to this classic recipe and to make it more Batangas than ever, we are combining it with another Batangas classic the Bulalo, we call it Gotong Batangas Bulalo. If you hate offal then definitely this recipe is for you, because no internal organs are used on this recipe but instead, we will be using beef leg bones and beef shanks like what is used in Bulalo.
