Pork Humba
Don’t get me wrong, Pork Humba or Braised Pork Belly or Pork Stew is VERY tasty. We used to have this cooked twice or thrice a month when we weren’t into healthy food years ago. I don’t use the pork belly then, thank you very much, because of its fat but I use pork loin instead. There are many varieties to this dish but I prefer cooking this with lots of garlic, mushroom, and hard boiled eggs
It is a slow cooking recipe and you can view how it is cooked here.
Below is a photo of what constitute a pork humba using pork belly or in Filipino term, liempo:
I am not so sure how much fat content there is for every slice of this meat. But from these come bacon slices which are cured before they make their way to the supermarket.
So what is SCARY about this? The fat content of course! 😀
Here is my other entry for the scary theme.
[…] By the way, I have another scary entry here. […]
yes, the fats in those liempos are scary indeed! but i kinda like the presentation ha:)
I WAS waiting for the scary explanation LOL! Nice shot – it doesn’t scare me at all but makes my mouth water!!
It made me wonder what the scary part is. I like a variety of dishes with pork fat. At my age, I’m getting more and more concerned about eating too much fat.
