Simple Pork Curry

While chicken is the more popular meat in making a curry dish, its pork version is also as delicious.


Making Pork Curry is very simple - just some frying, mixing and stewing. And around an hour, you will be already enjoying the aroma and taste of a simple curry dish.

Basically, just replace chicken in your favorite curry recipe with slices of pork and you are good to go with a simple pork curry dish.

Now, let's start cooking...



INGREDIENTS
  • 2/3 kilo pork, bite size pieces
  • 2 medium potatoes, sliced into cubes
  • 1 large carrot, sliced
  • 1 large bellpepper, sliced
  • 1 pack curry powder mix or plain curry
  • 1 cup thick coconut cream
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Oil
  • Water
  • Salt and pepper to taste



PROCEDURE
  1. In a pan, brown pork slices then saute in onion and garlic in its own oil. You may add oil if you want.
  2. Add in and stir fry potatoes, carrots and  bellpeppers (or you may add bellpeppers last)
  3. Add coconut cream (you may use canned gata or gata powder prepared as per package instructions) then simmer for around 15-20mins. You may adjust thickness and consistency with water.
  4. When the pork and vegetables are tender to your liking, stir in curry powder mix. Simmer until your desired consistency.
  5. If you opt to add bellpeppers last, you can do it here.
  6. Season with salt and pepper. Make final taste adjustments.

The measurements in this recipe are just guides for you can always adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.


Pork belly is always a good part to cook with but you can use your favorite pork cut for you to have an enjoyable and delicious recipe. Enjoy your Pork Curry with a plateful of rice!

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
