A hearty and flavorful Filipino dish combining tender pork, liver, and vibrant vegetables in a savory tomato-based sauce.
Combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and bay leaf in a mixing bowl.
Marinating the pork enhances its flavor and tenderness.
Add the cubed pork to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.
For deeper flavor, marinate the pork overnight in the refrigerator.
Heat a sauté pan over medium heat and sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the marinated pork to the pan and cook until browned.
Ensure the pork is evenly browned for a richer flavor.
Stir in the tomato sauce, carrots, potatoes, and raisins. Simmer until the vegetables are tender.
Cover the pan to speed up the cooking process.
Add the pork liver and bell peppers to the pan. Cook until the liver is done and the peppers are tender.
Avoid overcooking the liver to maintain its texture.
Sprinkle the grated Romano cheese over the dish and stir until melted.
The cheese adds a creamy texture and enhances the flavor.
Serve the stew hot with steamed rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
