Filipino Estofado


I never know Estofado before until my esposo's aunt came to visit us several years ago. She cooked the dish at home and she gladly offered it us. It was such an interesting dish cooked with pineapple juice. It makes me crave so much every time I remember it. I tried it several times until I made my own version. Mine also has not only pineapple juice but I added pineapple rings, raisins and bell pepper. I am proud of the heavenly result as always, lol!

I made my research too about its history and how it came to the Philippines but I can not give you anything substantial to feed ones curiosity. All I encountered was description and personal stories made by some very good Filipino bloggers. I guess they all considered it as one great Filipino dish similar to Adobo and Humba. My version has no carrots, peas or plantain banana. I would love plantain banana in my Humba and seriously carrots and peas belongs to Caldereta.

Then put back the  pork into the sauce pan.
Add also the marinate left in the bowl.

Simmer for 5 minutes more.Turn off the heat.Ready to serve.
Here's another chaos of taste,but have fun anyway...prepare to eat more rice or dinner rolls if you like. Remember,a recipe like this will last for about a week or more. Just put in a glass jar or container,cover tightly and you wont go wrong. I love the chaos between pineapple juice and olive oil, I think these two has the most important fusion effect in this recipe.
