I suppose every Filipino knows this tasty pork stew recipe that is afritada. It's an easy home-cooking recipe really. If I can do this dish, so can you.
Read on to get my easy pork afritada recipe.
Cooking afritada shows how much influence the Spaniards had on Philippine cuisine. Afritadang baboy (pork) or manok (chicken) is a simple saute'-stew recipe that is tomato-based. Being so, it's yummy for both children and adults. It's not pork caldereta, by the way. Although, there are some similarities.
Afritadang baboy is very easy to cook, really. Its ingredients are not hard to find, either. All you need is the complete list of the needed ingredients which I am sharing with you right now.
Ingredients in cooking afritadang baboy:
- pork tenderloin, cubed
- garlic, chopped
- onions, chopped
- carrots, cubed
- red bell peppers, cut
- green bell pepper, cut
- potatoes, cubed
- tomato sauce
- fish sauce
- sugar
- pepper
- cooking oil
- hot water
Let's start cooking afritadang baboy:
1. Fry the carrots and potatoes first in a very hot pan.
2. Set aside in a dry bowl once cooked. Season with fish sauce and pepper as it sits.
3. Saute' garlic in the same pan.
4. Fry the pork when the garlic turns golden.
5. Add the onions when the pork is cooked or changed its color.
6. Season the dish with a bit of fish sauce to taste.
7. Let it sit under low-medium heat.
8. When the onions are cooked, add in the season carrots and potatoes.

ReplyDeleteYum! Ginagawa din namin sa chicken yan!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a yummy recipe! I'm not a good cook but I'll try to follow these steps.. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the tomato-based taste as it combines with port in a pork afritada.
ReplyDeletedamn! this is my favorite food in whole universe!this is a perfect especially in occasion hahah nagutom tuloy ako! my nanay should see this recipe!! hindi kasi masarap mag-afritada yun eh wahahaha lagot ako dun LOL! :D
ReplyDeleteI was never really a big fan of afritada but sometimes I force myself to eat it. I need the vitamins from the tomato sauce. Hehe
ReplyDeletehmm... really very simple... :) forgive me but help, i would jut like to know to ask how is this different from menudo? maybe some additional ingredients here and there?
ReplyDeleteYou always made cooking so easy with your tutorial. Got to learn how to prepare this dish, baka kasi early next year , matuloy si misis sa US, wala na kaming chef.LOL
ReplyDeletelooks yummy! afritada is a dish that even a no-good cook like me can do. I like your version of this dish, so simple and easy.
ReplyDeleteWhen I cook afritada I use the instant afritada powder because I don't know how to do it from scratch. Now that your posted this I will surely try this recipe and invite friends to come over and taste it =)
ReplyDeleteAn easy recipe that the family will enjoy to eat.
ReplyDeleteAfritada is one of the old-time favorites of Filipino families and my family for one like it very much. Hope to try this recipe later.
ReplyDeleteFor me, Afritadang baboy or manok is definitely one of the Filipino viands that I can cook on my own. Not only does it require some of the basic ingredients, it's also very easy and simple to do. :)
ReplyDeleteEasy afritada recipe, I want to try this. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very easy recipe. Added with tomato paste is a sure WIN! Taste yummy.
ReplyDeleteOne important tip that I got from my Mom is to chop the ingredients like the vegies in such a way that everything is coordinated like you did here. Cubes for the hard ones like potato and carrots, square shapes for the rest. So that the end product or the cooked dish will look much more appealing.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing the recipe. i actually make a mean chicken and pork afritada pero tansta tantsa lang kaya i couldn't share the recipe.
ReplyDeleteNice photos of the ingredients. A lot of food/cooking blogs forget how important pictures are to the mix. On the recipe itself, I can't practice it as I don't really cook at my place :( What a shame.
ReplyDeleteOne of the easiest menu I'm doing since I started cooking. Although we don't have the same version coz everytime I cook it, I only put potato or carrot in it. My kids are not fans of bell peppers in a stew, they chew it as is. They eat paprikas here like apples. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one way to encourage kids to eat vegetables together with their meat. In my opinion, kids like a lot of dishes with tomato sauce in it. Do you have the same observation?
ReplyDeleteI love anything pork...hahaha.
ReplyDeletethank you..
ReplyDeleteguys, ano yung fish sauce? XD
