how to cook beef pochero recipe and ingredientsPhilippines were invaded by the Spaniards for more than three centuries. So, it is not so surprising at all if until now you can see Spaniards’ influence in this country. From the language and up to the food that Filipinos eat, they have a touch of Spaniards. Some Filipino dishes originated from Spain but later on Filipino style is being incorporated with it to taste like they are our own and to make it more appealing to Pinoy’s taste buds.

One example of what I am talking about is beef pochero. Pochero comes from the Spanish word puchero which means stewpot. This is true enough because beef pochero is a stewed beef with vegetables and tomato sauce in it. Anyway, let’s all put back the Spaniard’s time by learning how to cook beef pochero.

  • 500 grams of beef ( short ribs)
  • 1 piece of Chinese sausage, sliced diagonally
  • 2 medium block of tofu

  • ¼ cup of garbanzos ( cooked)

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • Salt

  • Before starting to cook the beef pochero, prepare the tofu first. Deep fry the tofu and slice. Set aside
