Beef/Pork Afritada

This is my first time to cook Pork Afritada.

It was not something I ate growing up. My family does not eat it but I wanted to experiment because I do not know how to cook it.

Tricia asked her kusinera to share the recipe with me.

I hope I understood her instructions correctly. I cooked it for Mona because she slept over last night.

Mona said she liked it and told me she will also try to cook it at home.

I also tried Beef Afritada.
