Instructions
- In a bowl, combine pork, calamansi or lemon juice, soy sauce, onions, garlic, and pepper. Massage the marinade into the meat and marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Drain meat, onions, and garlic from marinade, squeezing and reserving excess liquid. Set aside.
- In a pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add pork chops and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Spoon out and reserve released meat juices during frying. Remove meat from pan and keep warm.
- In the pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the reserved onions and garlic, and cook, stirring regularly, until softened.
- Return meat to pan.
- Add reserved marinade and meat juices.
- Add water and bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.
- Cover, lower heat and simmer for about 40 to 50 minutes or until meat is fork-tender and liquid is reduced.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Add the onion rings. Turn off heat, cover and allow onion slices to cook slightly in the steam. Serve hot.
Notes
- Do not marinate the pork for too long as the acids in the citrus might break down the protein fibers and make the texture of the meat mushy.
- Browning adds depth of flavor. Drain the pork chops well and squeeze off excess marinade so they'll sear properly. Do not overcrowd the pan and use a wide pan or cook in batches as necessary.
- The meat will release a bit of juice when pan-fried. Spoon it off from the pan and add along with the marinade during braising.
- Use the same pan to braise the dish; those browned bits in the pan mean maximum flavor!
