Pork Afritada

My tried and tested afritada recipe which I use for chicken or pork.  I adapted this from a Nora Daza cookbook but I don't note down the exact measurements.  I just adjust it to suit my tastebuds.

What I used

• oil
• garlic, peeled and minced
• onions, peeled and diced
• tomatoes, seeded and diced
• around 500 grams pork pieces
• about a spoonful of vinegar
• 1 pack Del Monte tomato sauce
• hot sauce
• soy sauce
• carrots, peeled and cut into cubes
• potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
• red and green bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut into triangles

What I did

• heated a little oil in the pan then sauteed the onions and garlic.  once fragrant, added the tomatoes
• browned the pork
• added the vinegar and let it boil (without stirring)
• mixed in the tomato sauce
• seasoned with soy sauce and hot sauce
• mixed in the carrots then the potatoes
• once the veggies were cooked, turned off the heat and threw in the bell peppers

I like my sauce thick and tasty but you can add water and seasonings if you want more sauce.
