Afritadang Baboy Recipe

Afritadang Baboy is a Filipino pork stew with potato and carrots. The bell peppers are good additions because it makes the dish taste better. I also like adding dried bay leaves to provide a pleasant aroma to the dish.

This version uses lesser tomato sauce compared to my previously posted pork afritada recipe. I also tried to reduce the sauce towards the end of the cooking process. The plan is to have this for dinner with rice, and then reheat the leftover  for breakfast and eat it with pandesal. This practice is common in some provinces, and I like the idea of having an afritada sandwich for breakfast.

Reheating the afritadang baboy until the meat falls apart makes it a good filling for pandesal; doing so will also make the vegetables softer, which is ideal for a “palaman”.
