PORK POCHERO
Pochero is another one of my favorites, particularly the pork pochero. My Lola Demet prepares it once or twice a month since my Lolo Dolfo like it also.
Ingredients: (Good for 4 Persons)
I/2 kg. Pork Belly (some use the shank) cut as prefer
2 pcs. Banana (the "saba" one not too ripe & not too green) cut into cubes
1 med. Size potato (sliced into an inch cubes)
1 bundle of petchay
1/4 part of big size cabbage (cut in big size)
2 medium onions (chopped)
5 pcs. cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 big tomato (chopped)
2 pcs. green chili
1 liter water
1 tbsp. pepper corn
3 pcs. bay leaves (laurel)
Fish Sauce
1 tsp. Salt
Procedure
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the pork (clean the pork properly). After 15 minutes, stir in the onions, garlic, bay leaves, pepper corn, half a table spoon salt, and fish sauce.
2. Check to see if the pork is nearly done, then add the tomato and potato. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Then stir in the banana.
3. When the banana is almost done, add the petchy, cover for 3 minutes, and then add the cabbage and green chili.
4. Then cover for another two minutes. The food is then ready to be served.
Enjoy! (Note: don't forget to cook the rice; it's the fantastic addition.)
