I first published this pata hamonado in 2014 and am updating it today with new photos and tips. If you prefer pork belly instead of pork leg, check out this pork hamonado<\/a> version. The procedure is the same; the only change would be the cooking time, as we're using a different cut of meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Hamonado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hamonado refers to a type of Filipino cooking where meat is marinated or cooked with pineapple. Fatty pork, chicken, or beef cuts are first seared in hot oil until lightly browned and then braised in pineapple juice along with soy sauce, brown sugar, and aromatics such as onions, garlic, and peppercorns to round off flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other regional versions of the dish may also include tomato sauce, banana ketchup, raisins, carrots, and\/or hot dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
