Pork Estofado

Pork Estofado

• ¼ kg liempo, cut into cubes
• ¼ kg kasim, cut into cubes
• ¼ c soy sauce
• ½ c vinegar
• ½ T whole peppercorn
• 2 laurel leaves, torn into pieces
• 3-4 T sugar
• 6-8 pieces saging na saba or plantains
• ½ c water

Cooking Instructions:

1. Marinate the pork in soy sauce, vinegar, peppercorn and laurel leaves for 30 minutes
2. In a deep pot, put sugar on low heat and let it caramelize. [This is the secret!] When it turns golden, add the meat and marinade. Cover the pot and turn the heat on high.
3. When it begins to boil, add water and bananas. Put the cover back on then turn down the heat to a very low simmer. Stir once in a while so the banana and sauce really "blend" together.
4. Cook until sauce is reduced and pork is tender and falls of the bone.
