Filipino MENUDO Recipe |
4-5 cups pork, cubed into small pieces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/3 cup annatto water
1/2 cup water
2 medium-sized tomatoes, finely sliced
2 medium-sized potatoes, cubed into small pieces
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
1/2 cup sweet red pepper, cubed into small pieces
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
In a covered pan over medium high heat, bring to a boil the pork, soy sauce, vinegar, annatto water, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium low and let cook for 20-25 minutes or until meat is almost tender.
In the meantime, pan-fry the cubed potatoes in 2 tablespoons oil until lightly browned. Set aside.
In a deep non-stick skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic in 1 tablespoon oil until lightly browned. Add onion and red pepper and stir for 1 minute. Add browned potatoes and cooked pork with its sauce.
Simmer in medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve in a shallow serving dish.
