This Pork Menudo is a rich, hearty Filipino stew featuring tender pork, liver, and vibrant vegetables simmered in a savory tomato-based sauce. The dish begins with pan-fried potatoes, followed by sautéed aromatics, pork, tomatoes, and bell peppers, which cook down into a flavorful base. A touch of pork bouillon enhances the depth of flavor, while the liver is added for a rich, authentic taste.

Finished with carrots, green peas, raisins, and half-cooked potatoes, the dish simmers until the flavors meld beautifully. Served hot over steamed rice, this classic, comforting meal is packed with bold flavors and hearty textures, making it a true Filipino favorite!
