Slow cooked meat is tender and more flavorful. This is because cooking on low heat for a long period of time breaks down and melts collagen in the meat. This helps bring out the flavor and makes the meat extra tender. Slow Cook Pork Afritada is no exception.

slow cook pork afritada

Slow Cook Pork Afritada is very easy to prepare. Simply sear the pork for a few minutes before adding it in the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. Slow cook for 4 hours if in high mode or 8 hours if in low mode.

Searing the pork beforehand will give it a nice caramelized crust. You can skip this step by just adding the raw pork in the slow cooker, but there is a noticeable difference in terms of texture and taste. A few minutes of searing is worth it.

Aside from pork, this recipe can also be used for beef and chicken. The end result is a flavorful afritada dish that you can enjoy anytime. Have it with rice for lunch or soda crackers for dinner. The leftover can be refrigerated and eaten for breakfast the next morning with a slices of tasty bread.

By the way, you can add a small can of liver spread if you want to make this dish be even more tasty. It will be like pork kaldereta then.

Try this Slow Cook Pork Afritada. Let me know what you think.

    You can cook it over the stove as well, much faster. I’m making it right now. Just brown your pork with suggested oil till its tender, removed pork from pot (leave oil in the pot/pan brown chicken as well (I used both) removed chicken, do the same with potatoes, removed potatoes, in the same pan sauté garlic, onions and bell peppers and fresh tomatoes, add the pork/chicken, potatoes back, put the spices and tomato sauce. And simmer in low heat till potatoes are cooked. SARAP!!!????

      Zandro, pwede kang gumamit ng conventional oven. However, you will have to bake it in 250F for 6 hours. This is not recommended for budget and safety reasons.
