I cooked so many pork dishes these past weeks for our holiday series that I was literally knee-deep in all kinds of pig parts for days! My kitchen was quite a sight with a pig head<\/a> roasting in the oven, pork ears and snout<\/a> charring beautifully on an indoor grill, and pork belly<\/a> simmering on the stovetop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I enjoyed these dishes immensely, with an extra 5 pounds of weight to prove it, I have to say this pork hamonado was the clear winner of the lot. The combination of melt-in-your-mouth tender pork and a sweet and savory sauce over piping-hot steamed rice was pure heaven; I ate way more than I should have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredient notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can use any pork cut in hamonado, but for a richer flavor and velvety soft texture, I suggest parts with a thick cap of skin and fat such as hocks<\/a>, belly, or shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pork is braised in a mixture of pineapple juice and soy sauce, along with aromatics, garlic, onion, peppercorns, and bay leaves. When the meat is tender, brown sugar is stirred to add a touch of sweetness, and pineapple chunks are added to round off the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
