Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large pot, bring 5 cups of water and the pork ribs to a boil over high heat.
  2. Once boiling, add the sliced tomatoes, sliced onion, salt, and tamarind (sampaloc).
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, or until the pork is tender.
  4. Remove the tamarind pods from the pot and mash them with a ladle to extract the juice.
  5. Strain the mashed tamarind juice back into the pot, discarding the solids.
  6. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
  7. Bring the soup back to a boil and add the green beans and sliced radishes.
  8. Simmer for 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  9. Add the spinach, cover the pot, and remove from heat.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the residual heat to wilt the spinach.
