About Pork mechado
Pork Mechado is a hearty Filipino stew rooted in Spanish culinary influence, traditionally made with pork shoulder or loin, simmered in a tomato-based sauce enriched with soy sauce and calamansi or vinegar. It often includes vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers, adding both flavor and nutrients. A defining feature is the meat, sometimes larded with a strip of fat to enhance tenderness and richness. While it offers protein and vitamins from the vegetables, its healthiness depends on preparation methods. Excess oil or using fatty cuts can increase saturated fat content. Choosing lean pork cuts and moderating oil use makes it a more balanced dish. The tangy, savory flavors of Pork Mechado reflect a classic comfort food in Filipino cuisine, often enjoyed with steamed rice for a filling and flavorful meal.
