I actually blogged before about a special recipe written by my mother-in-law when she was still alive. These are the ingredients for her Special Hamonada. My hubby wants to try this one that’s why my MIL just wrote down the ingredients. Her Hamonada was indeed a special one because it tastes so deliciously good!
My hubby’s first attempt in cooking Hamonada was not that good because it was burned and parched out. His second attempt was perfectly cooked. But I wasn’t able to take a good photo of it so when I decided to let my hubby cook this specialty again for the third time, I was able to take a good and clear photo of it.
“Hamonada” is a Filipino dish that is usually served in Fiestas, Noche Buena, Media Noche and other special occasions. You can commonly find this in small barrios as their main course during Fiestas because this dish doesn’t spoil fast. For those who loves sweet and tasty dish, this one’s perfect for you.
Want to try this one?
You just need to prepare the following:
1 k. pork thigh/pata or pigue, cleaned and sliced
1 small can pineapple tidbits
8 oz. Sprite or 7up
1.5 tsp salt
3.5 tbsp. sugar
2.5 tbsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3 cloves garlic
red onion
1/2 tsp. olive oil
1 small pack tomato paste
star anise
Simply mix all ingredients (except pineapple) in a casserole/pot. Let it boil for about ten minutes and then add pineapple. Simmer for another 20 minutes or till the meat is tender.
Enjoy!!!
