Linat-an, also known as nilat-an, is a traditional pork stew from the Visayas and Mindanao islands of the Philippines. Linat-an characteristically uses pork ribs (or other bony cuts of pork) boiled and simmered until very tender, lemongrass ({{lang|ceb|tanglad}}), string beans, and starchy ingredients for a thicker soup (usually taro). Like the very similar nilagang baboy, the rest of its ingredients can vary, but they typically include chayote, water spinach, onion, garlic, pechay, calabaza, and bell peppers. It is seasoned with salt, ground black pepper, and fish sauce to taste.{{cite web |title=Filipino Pork Stew with Mixed Vegetables (Linat-Ang Baboy) Recipe |url=https://www.hungryhuy.com/filipino-pork-stew-with-mixed-vegetables-linat-ang-baboy-recipe/ |website=Hungry Huy |date=November 8, 2012 |access-date=December 30, 2021}}{{cite web |title=Linat an Recipe (Boiled Pork Soup with Lemongrass) |url=https://panlasangpinoy.com/linat-an-recipe/ |website=Panlasang Pinoy |date=February 10, 2014 |access-date=December 30, 2021}}{{cite web |title=Linat-an |url=https://www.angsarap.net/2016/04/15/linat-an/ |website=Ang Sarap |date=April 15, 2016 |access-date=December 30, 2021}}{{cite web |title=Linat-ang Baboy of Cebu |url=https://www.mamasguiderecipes.com/2020/01/07/linat-ang-baboy-of-cebu/ |website=Mama's Guide Recipes |date=January 7, 2020 |access-date=December 30, 2021}}
