This Beef Pochero Recipe is a warm and hearty stew that everyone in the family will love.

What is Pochero?

Puchero is a type of stew originally from Spain, prepared in Yucatán, Mexico, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Perú, south of Brazil, the Philippines, and Spain, specifically the autonomous communities of Andalusia and the Canary Islands. The Spanish word “puchero” originally meant an earthenware pot, before being extended to mean any vessel, and then the dish cooked in it.
The dish is essentially equivalent to the cocido of Spain but lacking colorants (such as paprika), using local ingredients which vary from one region to another. In Spain chickpeas are widely used. Puchero, cocido, and the sancocho eaten in Colombia, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Puerto Rico, are essentially similar dishes.
In Philippine cuisine, puchero (Spanish: Pochero; Tagalog: putsero) is a dish composed of beef chunks stewed with saba bananas (or plantains). The dish may also include potatoes or sweet potatoes, chorizos de Bilbao, bok choy, leeks, chickpeas, cabbage and tomato sauce. Other versions replace beef with chicken or pork.

As you can see above, puchero is essentially a beef stew. So for this recipe, we will be using beef.

  • 3 cups water

  • 1 pouch DEL MONTE Filipino Style Tomato Sauce (200g)

  • 1/4 cup garbanzos, cooked

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

  • 2 bunch pechay Tagalog

Directions

  • Sauté onion and beef for 5 minutes. Add water and DEL MONTE Filipino Style Tomato Sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat until beef is almost tender.

Notes

  • This Beef Pochero dish is rich in iron for making red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body. It is also rich in vitamin A which promotes normal growth and development.
  • Choose relatively cheaper cuts of beef that are tougher and have connective tissue or “litid” like round, kenchi, or even kalitiran. When cooked slowly, these beef cuts turn tender and the “litid” melts in your mouth.

Easy Pork Humba Recipe

Easy Pork Humba Recipe

This Easy Pork Humba Recipe is a Visayan slow-cooked sweet pork dish based on the Chinese word Hong-ba (red-braised pork belly). It is similar to pork adobo and hamonado except that it characteristically uses fermented black soybeans (tausi).

The defining ingredient of humba is the fermented black beans (tausi), without which it is basically just a slightly sweeter Philippine adobo. Like adobo it has many different variants.

The most basic humba recipe uses fatty cuts of pork, usually pork belly (liempo). It is marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. The pork is then sautéed with garlic. Once the meat is half-cooked and lightly browned, water is added to the rest of the ingredients, fermented black beans, and sugar. Banana blossoms may also be added. It is then allowed to simmer for a few hours until the meat is very tender. Alternatively, it can be cooked in a pressure cooker to cut down the cooking time. It is eaten with white rice.

Easy Filipino Puto Recipe

Here is an easy Filipino Puto recipe that you can make at home!

What is Filipino Puto?

Puto is a Filipino steamed rice cake, traditionally made from slightly fermented rice dough (galapong). It is eaten as is or as an accompaniment to a number of savoury dishes (most notably, dinuguan). Puto is also an umbrella term for various kinds of indigenous steamed cakes, including those made without rice. It is a sub-type of kakanin (rice cakes).

The key characteristics are that they are cooked by steaming and are made with some type of flour (to contrast with bibingka, which are baked cakes). There are exceptions, however, like puto seko which is a baked dry cookie. The traditional puto made with galapong is sometimes referred to as putong puti (“white puto“) or putong bigas (“rice puto) to distinguish it from other dishes also called puto.

Modern variants of puto may also use non-traditional ingredients like ube (purple yam), vanilla, or chocolate.

From Wikipedia

The Filipino Puto is one of the country’s most famous rice cakes. It is also one of the most basic regarding the ingredients and the simplicity of the procedure.

The ground meat is added and cooked until it is brown. Sliced hot dogs are then added. It can be replaced with other processed meat like smoked longganisa sausages, ham, Vienna sausages, meatballs, luncheon meat, spam, or corned beef. It is cooked for a few more minutes before the tomato sauce mixture is poured into the pan. Some people use store-bought spaghetti sauce as the base for convenience.

Easy Sinangag (Fried Rice) Recipe

Sinangag (Fried rice) is cooked rice stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan. Sinangag is the Filipino word for fried rice.

Easy Sinangag (Fried Rice) Recipe

Sinangag (Fried rice) is cooked rice stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan. Sinangag is the Filipino word for fried rice. It is usually mixed with other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat. It is often eaten by itself or as an accompaniment to another dish. Fried rice is famous in East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian cuisines. As a homemade dish, fried rice is made with ingredients left over from other dishes, leading to countless variations. First developed during the Sui Dynasty in China and all fried rice dishes can trace their origins to Chinese fried rice.

In Sinangag, the rice used is stale, usually leftover cooked rice from the previous day, as it results in fermented and firmer rice. It is garnished with toasted garlic, salt, and black pepper. The rice grains are loose and do not stick together.

Sinangag is rarely eaten on its own but is usually paired with a “dry” meat dish like tocino, longganisa, tapa, or spam. Unlike other types of fried rice, the main ingredient is garlic, so it does not overwhelm the flavor of the main dish. In this sinangag (fried rice) other ingredients are added. The additions are scrambled eggs and cooked meat cut into small pieces. Cashews, cooked green peas and chopped spring onions may be added too! Sinangag is a common part of a traditional Filipino breakfast, and it is usually prepared with leftover rice from the dinner before. It is one of the components of the tapsilog breakfast and its derivatives.
