Filipino Pochero (Pork/Beef Stew with Saba/Burro Bananas)

This very comforting food which is commonly served in special holidays is a tomato based stew that uses either beef, pork, chicken or a combo of all three plus a variety of vegetables.

Give your meal a delightful experience using this dish, or perhaps prepare it on one of your get together with friends or even simple Sunday family day. Happy cooking and enjoy!
