Pork Hamonado

Pork Hamonado is simply pork sweetened in pineapple sauce. You can typically find sweetness in some Filipino dishes and this is just one of them. This dish is usually served during the Christmas season along with other sumptuous dishes that I plan to feature soon. Some of you might be thinking if sugar can really go well with meat (just like with this recipe); I invite you to try and see for yourself. Please be the judge and let me know what you think.

Ingredients:

2 lbs pork butt or loin (about 1 kilo)
2 cups pineapple juice
2 cups pineapple chunks
3 tbsp soy sauce
5 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp. cooking oil

Directions:

Step 1: Mix the pineapple juice, sugar, and soy sauce in a large bowl

Step 2: Marinate pork with the pineapple juice, sugar, and soy sauce mixture for about 1 to 3 hours

Step 3: Remove the pork from the marinade and set the remaining mixture aside

Step 4: Heat the oil in a pan and fry the marinated pork until the meat turns light brown (approximately 3 to 5 minutes)

Step 5: Pour in the remaining marinade mixture together with the pineapple chunks and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes

Step 6: Add salt and pepper to taste.

Ito ang napili naming lutuin sa pork recipe. Masasabi kong sa lahat ng niluto namin, ito ang pinaka- nasarapan ako. Bakit kasi hindi sasarap, baboy na tapos papalamanan mo pa ng hotdog, ham and cheese. Kaya napaka-sarap talaga nito. Masarap ang sarsa, ayos lang ang tamis at asim ng pineapple juice, kaya saktong- sakto ang lasa. Iyon nga lang, matigas.haha! Hindi na kasi namin pinakuluan ang baboy, prito agad pagka- marinate. Kaya hindi masyadong malambot. Iyon din ang napuna ng aming guro dito- matigas nga daw. Pero nabawi naman ng sarsa dahil talagang masarap. Yum! yum! yum! :)
