Chicken and Pork Adobo
Adobo is the acknowledged Philippine national dish. When Eldest Sister went on a diet years ago, you could ask her kids what her favorite dish was and they’d all say, “Adobo Kangkong.” Yup, you can cook vegetables, meats, seafood (mussels adobo is fantastic) and fish using this method. You’ll probably find this dish anywhere you [...]
German-Style Dinner
Dinner tonight was a German-style meal any Greta or Liezl can be proud to call their own. Unfortunately, veal was not available at the commissary this week so I had to subsitute my wiener schnitzel with breaded pork chops. But red cabbages are always available in any supermarket and that was enough to build on [...]
Pork Chops with Apple Slices and Brussels Sprouts
This is my favorite fall recipe. I found it in a cookbook Stepson’s former girlfriend gave me for Christmas and I’ve made it a staple. It’s one of the easiest things to cook and always comes out perfectly no matter what you do with it. The original recipe calls for turkey breasts but [...]
Baked Pork Tenderloin with Orange Raspberry Preserves and Tea
Ahhhh…this turned out really good for something I was sure would be a disaster. I was very low on cooking ingredients because Spouse and I are off on a business trip this week (by the time this post comes out anyway) and I like leaving the refrigerator clean when we go out of town. My intention was to [...]
Stuffed Pork Chops
Alright…I’ve been good about eating healthy the last few days and now I deserve some pork chops! I’ve been thinking of doing a stuffed pork chop recipe for ages but never tried it. I’ve found several recipes online and in a couple of my cookbooks. But this is the recipe I finally chose [...]
Oven-baked Barbecue Pork Ribs
It was nice and cool the other day so I went ahead and cooked this barbecue ribs in the oven instead of taking out the grill. I used half a bottle of Cattlemen’s Authentic Smokehouse Barbecue Sauce for about 2 pounds of pork ribs. It’s the best I’ve tried so far. I like [...]
Packed Lunch Omelette
This ground pork omelette was a regular packed lunch item when my siblings and I were in elementary school. I can still remember that scent when you first opened your plastic lunch box at the school canteen. It was a mixture of the pork, the bell peppers and the plastic. This always came [...]
Italian Sausage with Peppers
This is another quick recipe that will be on your dinner table within an hour of starting it. Serve it with a light, green salad and you’re ready. For this recipe, I used Sweet Italian Sausage flavored with fennel. I find the hot sausages a little too spicy for me. I prefer sprinkling red pepper [...]
Pork Steak
Filipinos usually call this dish “Pork Steak” which I always thought was a misnomer. It’s based on the Filipino favorite “Bistek” which uses beef. The basics of this manner of cooking is marinating your meat or fish in a soy sauce, calamansi, black pepper marinade for at least an hour. The meat or [...]
