pork giniling (minced pork)

Pork giniling or minced pork is ze hubby's favorite. He says it reminds him of his childhood. Well, my mother-in-law does cook this very well so I can't blame ze hubby for loving this dish.

Minced pork is so versatile and is one of the easiest ingredients to work with. You can put it in Pinoy-style spaghetti or turn it into lumpiang Shanghai or cook it like this, as a standalone ulam.

Last night, ze hubby had dinner with his office friends so I thought of a quick dinner fix. There was minced pork in the freezer, and carrots, potatoes and bell pepper in the crisper so I decided to just put them all together.

Here's how you can make this super easy ulam.

Ingredients

250 grams minced pork

2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

1/2 cup diced potato

1/2 cup diced carrot

1/4 cup diced green bell pepper

Banana ketchup

Tomato ketchup

Patis

Salt and pepper

Directions

1. Heat some cooking oil on a pan. Saute onions and garlic. Once they're soft, add the minced pork and some patis. 

2. Once the meat is slightly brown, add the potatoes and carrots. Saute for a few minutes. 3. Lower heat then add the banana ketchup. I just eyeball it. If the meat and veggies are red enough, then they're fine. :) Since I didn't have tomatoes, I also added a bit of tomato ketchup. Cover the pan and leave for a couple of minutes until the meat and veggies are cooked.

4. Before removing from heat, put in the bell peppers. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
