It's been months since I tasted Coca-Cola. It's not healthy, my doctor tells me. It's high in sugar and acid. So I skip it even when it's tempting during the scorching days of summer. So I thought if I can't drink it, why not cook it?
I decided to go back to my roots and try a Filipino dish. Our local cooking was influenced mostly by Spanish sauces and marinades. The Spanish word adobo means seasoning or marinade.
INGREDIENTS:
1 kilo of pork belly cubes
1 can of regular coca-cola
1/2 kilo of cubed potatoes
4 dried bayleaf
1 tbsp peppercorn
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/8 cup soy sauce
1/8 cup water
3 tbsp vinegar
salt to taste
Instructions:
Combine the pork belly cubes, soy sauce and garlic and marinade for at least 1 hour.
Heat the casserole and put in the marinated pork belly then cook for a few minutes. Pour 1 can of coca-cola. Add the peppercorn and bayleaf. Cook in medium heat then simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
Add vinegar, water and potatoes. Let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Add salt to taste.
Serve with white rice. Enjoy!
