Simple Pork Barbecue

You can find Pork Barbecue in almost every corner and in every house hold around the cointry. Just the smell of it being cooked sends our stomachs grumbling.


There is no basic recipe as it varies from place to place and even from household to household. But in the end, pork barbecue alwats makes us say "extra rice, please!"


Ingredients
  • 1 kilo pork, cut into barbecue serving portions
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Banana ketchup
  • 7Up or Sprite, half of 8 ounce bottle
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

    •
  • Juice from 3 calamansi fruit
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper (black)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt




Procedure
  1. Mix all ingredients (except pork) in a bowl.
  2. Taste the mixture a little bit and make necessary flavor adjustments.
  3. When marinade is okay, place pork and gently massage to let the flavors seep in.
  4. Marinate the pork in the mixture overnight, stored in the fridge. Or set aside for 2-3 hours before grilling. 
  5. Skewer the sliced pork using bamboo sticks. 
  6. Grill the pork until both sides are done basting from time to time using the leftover marinade (add a bit of oil).
  7. Serve with rice and favorite sawsawan.

 



As I've said, there's no basic recipe for the Filipino-style pork barbecue. It can be as simple as soy sauce and calamansi to this actual recipe. It's just a matter of preference and the way you like it.
And the measurements in this recipe are just guides as you can always just throw-in the seasonings and spices to your hearts content. Enjoy!

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.

Both share almost the same recipe with some more or less tweaks to make the other. Here's a Recipe to make the Dry-type Bukayo.
