Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 large potatoes - peeled and cut into slices
- 2 pounds pork shoulder - cut into 3-4 big chunks
- 2 cloves garlic - minced
- 2 medium or 1 large onion - chopped
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- ¼ cup lemon juice or calamansi juice
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 1 bunch dried thyme or oregano
- 10-12 pieces peppercorn
- 2-3 cups water
- 3 ounces (small can) liver spread
- ½ cup grated cheese
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Fry the potato slices in a single layer until lightly browned. Remove from oil and set aside.
- In the same pot, add another tablespoon of oil. Sear the pork shoulder cuts until browned. Remove from oil and set aside.
- Still, in the same pot over medium heat, saute garlic and onions until limp and aromatic. Pour the tomato sauce, calamansi or lemon juice, and soy sauce.
- Add the pork cuts, dried oregano, and peppercorns and cook for a minute or two, turning the cuts from time to time.
- Add the water and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, cover the pot with the lid and turn the heat to low. Let it simmer until meat is fork-tender, about 45-60 minutes.
- Remove cover add the liver spread and turn heat up to reduce the liquids to a thicker sauce. Add the grated cheese and cook for another 2-3 minute.
- Serve with rice while warm.
