How to Cook Hamonado

Ingredients :

  • 1 kilo pork pigue or pata
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons praque powder (or 1/8 teaspoon salitre)
  • 1 can pineapple chunks (drained)
  • 1 can pineapple juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • Soy sauce
  • Cooking oil

How to Make It :

  1. Mix the sugar, pineapple juice, praque powder or salitre, and soy sauce in a large bowl.
  2. Rub the mixture on the pork for about 1 to 3 hours.  For maximum result, you may want to marinate it overnight.
  3. Drain the pork form the mixture and set aside the marinade.
  4. In a hot pan with oil, fry the marinated pork until it turns golden brown.
  5. Pour in the remaining marinade sauce together with the pineapple chunks.  Let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or wait until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve.

If you want the pork butt or loin to be more tender, you can boil or broil it before frying it on the pan along with the mixture.  And that is how to cook Hamonado.  The recipe is just easy, right?  Enjoy the holiday season and be smack dabbed with the festive treats!  Enjoy!
