Pocherong Baboy Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Pocherong Baboy is a type of Filipino pork stew dish. Although any almost any cut of pork can be used, the most commonly consumed for this dish is the belly, which is also referred to as liempo. It might have a resemblance with nilagang baboy at first glance, but there are certain ingredients that make this dish unique. The use of fresh tomato and tomato sauce are good examples. Chorizo de Bilbao, which is a type of sausage, is also added to provide additional flavor.

I made sure to make this version of pocherong baboy soupy. It feels like having a stew and soup at the same time. Every sip of its warm broth makes me feel comfortable. I must also say that the broth is very flavorful. It has a sweet meaty taste. The sweetness can be attributed to both the banana and tomato, while the meaty taste was derived from the pork and the broth used.

Pechay or baby bok choy is one of the ingredients that I cannot live without when it comes to pochero. I just feel that my dish won’t be complete without it. I was in the Philippines for a month-long vacation when I shot the cooking video below. It just happened that pechay is not available in all of the palengke (public market) near my location. I actually went to three markets that day and was not able to find one. As I was about to go home empty handed, I thought of trying my luck at a nearby mini-mart. I remembered that this establishment sells produce (fruits and vegetables). I was happy to see a few bunches of baby bok choy sitting inside the basket. I was very sure during that moment that I will be having pocherong baboy for lunch.
