I hope that you had an exciting day today. Mine was just fine, it was not as bright as I was expecting, but I am thankful for all the things that transpired. At the end of the day, I had to cook something to make me feel better. As you know, cooking is my stress reliever; it makes me feel happy and relaxed. Do you relate to me?
I’m glad that this Pork Pochero turned out to be fantastic. The meat was so tender and the soup was filled with different flavors that all worked in harmony to produce a great tasting dish. There is nothing special about this dish. It just came out the way I expected it to be, which is awesome. It was nice to have while it was still piping hot.
What ingredients do you use when making pork pochero? Aside from the pork, I made used of Chinese sausage for this dish because I ran out of chorizo de bilbao. It is the best alternative ingredient that I had. There was also garbanzos or chick peas, bok choy (you can use pechay), saging na saba, potato, and fresh green beans ( these are called Baguio beans in the Philippines) – and I also used tomato sauce.
