Pork Menudo Recipe (Menudong Baboy)

The Pork Menudo Recipe originated during the Spanish Colonization but this dish is a true Filipino dish of sauteed pork meat, potatoes, and carrots, raisins, and beef or pork liver. This Recipe is far different from Kaldereta and Afritada. There are many versions of this dish; Some versions use Vinegar or Fresh Tomatoes instead of Canned Tomato Sauce and they also put cheese when it is about to be taken off the stove. Some versions are sweeter and some a little sour and this dish can be both an everyday staple and still be a crowd pleaser because of its versatility. Here in the Philippines, a lot of provinces have their own version of this dish and each of those tastes differently and yet still delectable.

Pork Menudo Recipe Preparation

Pork Menudo is very easy to make. Just prepare all the ingredients by chopping garlic and onions, slicing the meat, dicing the potatoes and carrots and slicing the liver before cooking. Saute garlic and onions first then meat second and just let it cook until it is tender before adding potatoes and carrots; it’s up to you if you want to put liver last or not. After cooking, serve it at once but you can also freeze it in case there are leftovers.
