4 Pork Hamonado Recipe 

Sweet and savory are contradicting flavors but if you can create a dish that has both of these flavors in a balance, you have cooked a dish truly worth a celebration. The hamonado is a stewed pork dish that marries the sweet tangy flavor of pineapples with salty savory soy sauce. The pineapple juice in the marinade not only flavors it but also helps tenderize it even before you start cooking. The result is a super tender cut of pork that you can be proud to serve at any gathering. 

You can also use the pata or the pork leg slices to give the sauce of this hamonado a thickened, delicious taste and texture.

5 Callos Recipe 

Beef tripe is the common cut for the callos but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it with pork. Swapping out the beef for the pork does little to the overall dish. In fact, it makes it even more accessible since it’s a less expensive cut of meat! It still has the garbanzos or chickpeas, paprika, chorizo chunks, and tomatoes. The swap is the only change you need to make to this dish and the resulting dish is just as tasty and appetizing as the original.

6 Pork Binagoongan Recipe 

Bagoong or shrimp paste is a classic condiment for most, but it’s also one powerfully flavorful ingredient to add to dishes. It’s the flavor that takes over this pork stew recipe and it’s an addictive one. The salty shrimp flavor is the perfect seasoning to whatever pork chunks you want to use, including the fatty pork belly. To tame the saltiness, you can even add some coconut milk or gata to give it a creaminess that just manages to make it even more appetizing.
