Pork Pata Pochero

Pork Pata Pochero is like Nilaga but the twist is on the tomato sauce, and garbanzos. Cook it on any simple gathering or lazy weekend treat. It’s best when every member of the family is present. They will surely enjoy and love the classic family’s favorite ulam. My mom would normally add sweet corn in this dish, but that is just optional. While some people, cook this dish with plenty of soup and some prefer saucy its up to you. I prefer it soupy like Nilaga. Come and join me in cooking pork pata pochero today.. Happy cooking!
