POCHERO RECIPE.Hi, guys! Today’s menu is called Pochero.I made this Pochero last week, and I cannot stop raving about it. I like the non-overpowering sourness of the sauce and the tomato just made this meal come together. With yam (or sweet potato), Saba ( or plantain) added in the sauce, Pochero can be a meal in itself without the rice added… hmmm but who are we fooling here? There should be rice and it must be drizzled with the Pochero sauce, right?

Pochero is a Filipino type stew which means stew pot. It has with yam, ( sweet potato) Saba ( plantain), tomato sauce and Bok Choy. When you make Pochero, you can use pork beef or chicken, but today I used chicken meat.Some Pinoy add Garbanzo beans but in this meal, I skip Garbanzo because my kids don’t like it.

In this Pochero recipe, I fried the chicken, yams and banana since I thought it tasted better compared to non frying it. The downside though is – it is just more work and time consuming when you fry the ingredients. I tried this Pochero recipe without pre frying the ingredients and it still good; So take your pick and decide for yourself.

So this is the end result of that Pochero: that sauce right , you can just slurp it.. you cannot skip the sliced tomatoes here. It brings the sauce’s taste come together.

SWEET YAMS AND BANANA

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS POCHERO:
1. The sauce is creamy. Perfect for rice.

2.The sweet yam… its gentle sweetness stood out when mix with the sauce.

3. It can just be a meal on itself – without rice, but I am not doing it; I need rice drizzled with the Pochero sauce.

4. Freeze-able. You can make a large batch and bring some and intermittently bring some for baon ( pack lunch).
