Pinangat is made from locally sourced “natong” leaves ( taro leaves) and “gata” (coconut milk) and most households in the Bicol Region where it orginally comes from will have these in their farms and gardens.
Another version of this is the “tinilmok”, which has a filling of sliced lukadon (young coconut meat) and small shrimps.
