FILIPINO MENUDO

Filipino Menudo image

Comfort food Filipino style! This is one of my husband's favourite Filipino dishes. I make this in big batches because it freezes well, and it tastes better the longer you keep it. It can stay for up to 2 weeks in the freezer. This can also be cooked in a slow cooker like the usual slow cooker stew.

Ingredients

1 kg pork tenderloin, cubed
3 medium potatoes, cubed
2 medium carrots, cubed
1/2 cup raisins
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
500 ml tomato sauce
100 g liver spread (originally, we use fresh pork liver but since it's very difficult to find a good liver, I substitute)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
50 g grated romano cheese (Parmesan is also good)
2 bay leaves
1 cup Sprite (Yes, Sprite.)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 lemon, zest of, only
ground black pepper

Steps:

Combine all marinade ingredients. Divide the marinade in halves. Save half. Add pork cubes on the other half with the bay leaf and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Remove pork from the marinade, drip dry.
Sauté garlic and onion, add pork and the unused half of the marinade and bay leaf, simmer uncovered, reduce the liquid to half.
Add fresh pork liver if you prefer the fresh ingredient, cover and cook.
Add tomato sauce, liver paste (if this is what you're using), carrots, potatoes and raisins, simmer stirring occasionally.
Add peppers and adjust the seasoning.
Add the grated cheese, let it melt, stir and distribute evenly. Serve hot.
