Filipino "Pork" Recipe

BINAGOONGANG BABOY

Ingredients:
1 kilo pork loin, cut into 1" cubes
1/2 cup vinegar (spicy preferred but not required)
1/2 cup bagoong or, for the Ilonggos, ginamus
6 cloves of garlic, crushed and then minced fine
6-10 peppercorns, crushed 2 bay leaves

Procedure:
1. Marinate the pork cubes with the other ingredients overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan. Saute the bay leaves to bring out their fragrance.
3. Add the marinated pork along with the marinade. Cook over a medium heat until the pork is nice and tender (30-45 minutes). Check the frying pan every so often to make sure the sauce isn't drying out. If it is, lower the heat and add 1/3 c of water and stir.


To lessen the smell of the bagoong, you can clap a lid on the frying pan. Also, burning a piece of bread helps (the carbon absorbs the smell). But as a friend said, which is worse--the smell of bagoong or the smell of burned bread? My sister burns a candle by the stove while cooking bagoong.

Crispy Pata

Ingredients:
4 pig's trotters
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1/4 tsp. MSG oil for deep frying

Procedure:
Wash the pig's trotters under running water and place in a large pan. Cover completely with cold water. Bring to a boil and season with salt, pepper and MSG. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid, lower the heat and simmer gently until meat is cooked. Drain meat. Heat the oil in another large pan until it is almost smoking. Deep fry trotters for a few minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.

Lower heat and allow simmering uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add in stock and allow simmering for 5 minutes. Add in blood, sugar and long green peppers. Cook for 10 minutes more or until consistency thickens, stirring occasionally to avoid curdling.
