HOW TO COOK PORK AFRITADA (AFRITADANG BABOY)

I have shared with you my Afritadang Manok already and now in this recipe, I am going to share with you another Afritada recipe- my Afritadang Baboy.

Pork Afritada is a Philippine traditional dish that originated in Spain. It is a pork dish combined with tomato sauce and some vegetables like carrots and green peas. I did not know how to cook it before until my ex-girlfriend told me that Afritada is one of her favorite dishes when we were still dating. My mom taught me how to cook it different from the traditional Afritada that the Filipinos and Spanish cook. There are many versions of this dish that I believe was originated in the Philippines. I know how to cook versions of Afritada and I find Afritadang baboy more appealing. I gathered recipes from my mom and granny and I am going to share with you the best of them. Here is the recipe:
