pochero



you can get disinherited for not serving this!

pochero, a filipino stew made (in this case) with chicken, pork chunks, pechay (i think it's also known as pak choi), potatoes, sweet potatoes, and saba bananas, in a garlic, onion, annatto-infused broth.

Hi Santos,

Looks good. Sounds like an interesting mix of flavors. A bit sweet and a bit savory... =)

it's quite good, actually sort of addictive. everything is tied together by the garlic--the almost roasted quality of the pork, the falling apart chicken, the slight bitterness of the pechay, and the creaminess of the potatoes. no wonder that woman wanted her pochero!
