Pork Afritada is a popular Filipino dish known for its rich, savory tomato-based sauce and hearty ingredients. This comforting stew features tender pork chunks simmered with potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and green peas, all flavored with garlic, onion, and traditional Filipino spices. Its origins trace back to Spanish colonial influence, blending Mediterranean cooking techniques with local flavors. Pork Afritada is a good source of protein and provides essential nutrients from the vegetables, such as vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber. However, it can be high in sodium and fat, depending on how it's prepared and seasoned. Choosing lean cuts of pork and controlling added oil and salt can make the dish healthier while preserving its bold, satisfying taste. As a nutrient-rich meal, paired with steamed rice, Pork Afritada is a beloved staple in Filipino cuisine that balances indulgence with wholesome ingredients.
