This is an easy recipe and a special favorite. It reminds me of kaldereta somehow without the pickle relish. My sister, Lorna captured this recipe from one of those Philippine TV cooking shows in the late 1970’s.

1 kilo pork (pigue or lomo), cut into serving pieces
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bell peppers, red and green, sliced
2 medium potatoes, quartered
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 cup pickle relish
1 can liver spread
1 can tomato sauce

1. Mix all the ingredients, according to the sequence indicated above, in a heavy saucepan or Dutch Oven — except for the tomato sauce.

2. Simmer and cook over moderate heat until the pork is done.

3. Add the tomato sauce. Simmer for a few more minutes.

4. Best served hot!

This recipe became a part of my mom’s bakeshop, Sally’s Home Bake Shop tradition. My sister shares this recipe to all of you. Here is what she wrote:

I was looking for another recipe. Remy, I know, after I taught this to her, was able to perfect this flan’s delicate procedure.

Before we freak out about the metric and English systems of measurement, here is my sister, Lorna’s own table.

1 ounce = 28.4 grams (rounded off)

1 gram = .035 oz.
1 kilogram = 2.21 lbs. (or 2.2 lbs.)
1 oz. = 28.35 gms. (or 28.4 gms., rounded up)
1 lb. = 453.59 gms. (or 454 gms., rounded up)
1 tsp. = 4.9 milliliters
1 tbsp. = 14.8 milliliters
1 cup = 236.6 milliliters
1 liter = 1.06 quarts or 1,000 milliliters

1 oz. = 2 tbsps. = 28.4 gms. = 30 cc.
1 ml. = 20 drops
