[…] A Cookbook I own very few cookbooks in my life and when I say few, I mean just 5. Four out of five I bought myself – 2 traditional Filipino recipe books and 2 about easy Italian cooking – cookbooks with recipes that I do end up cooking. How I got myself into buying them? It’s because I choose cookbooks according to the 1st one that I ever use – my HS Home Eco book with traditional Filipino recipes. It contains both simple and complex recipes but the how-to parts are easy to follow. What’s amazing is the fact that it’s totally devoid of beautiful food pictures yet with it I learned to whip up dishes and desserts such as kare-kare, afritada, embutido, morcon, leche flan, even salted eggs and a lot more I no longer recall. It has inspired me to go beyond what’s written and experiment on my own. It’s the start of all my cooking adventures. Unfortunately I have no idea where it is now and I’ve shipped the other 4 books to Manila years ago thinking I’d be stationed there for a while. They’re probably stashed away with my other books and mags about interior design and architecture. (Yup. I am still trying to find that ideal northern Chinese cookbook with English translations.)

Eh!

I do mine a little different though. I use Clarified Chicken Stock. I blanch the pork until tender and mix the cooked pork with the Chicken stock after. A seperate tomato sauce (made from crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, garlic, prosciutto, mirepoix, spices & chicken stock) can be prepared and mixed in with the stew. Continue seasoning.

As for the veggies: I stir fry the peppers in EVO & dump them in the stew later on to prevent overcooking. Reduce a cup of white wine & mix that as well. The carrots & potatoes can also be cooked seperately. Adjust to taste.

Hi Mae and Ash! Thanks for visiting!

Ash, simmer the meat in 4-5 cups of water and add more if the meat is not tender enough. You may also add more water when necessary to the reserved stock when mixed with tomato paste and potatoes depending on how much sauce you want and if the potatoes are not yet cooked as desired.
