FILIPINO-STYLE POCHERO

What makes the Filipino style Pochero or Puchero distinct from Spain's version are the saba bananas. Its taste and texture are similar to plantain bananas but are sweeter. A cooking banana is probably the best description for it. And this is true.

In the Philippines, we have many different recipes that uses saba bananas; it can be served (believe it or not) for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even snack. It is prepared and cooked in many different ways––boiled, fried, steamed and even grilled.

EASY CHICKEN POCHERO

For today's recipe, the bananas are stewed with the chicken together with the potatoes, carrots and other vegetables. It's traditionally fried before being added to the stew, but to make this simple and one-pot (a.k.a. fewer dishes to wash), I opted to just cook it with the chicken.

This recipe requires less cooking time first because chicken cooks easily compared to other types of meat like beef and pork.

Second, the canned baked beans, are already pre-cooked. It is essentially a substitute for the garbanzos and tomato sauce. It's a perfect 'stew-in-a-hurry' kind of dish that you can make any time for your friends and family.

As with any other Filipino dishes, this is best eaten with rice. Personally, I like putting extra fish sauce as I eat it. Yes, I am that typical 'Pinoy'.

Cooking Notes:

  • Cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces.
  • All the vegetables in this recipe are recommended but not required.
  • For a soupy puchero, add more water. Adjust fish sauce, salt, and pepper as necessary.
