Afritadang Baboy is a Filipino pork stew with potato and carrots. The bell peppers are good additions because it makes the dish taste better. I also like adding dried bay leaves to provide a pleasant aroma to the dish.
This version uses lesser tomato sauce compared to my previously posted pork afritada recipe. I also tried to reduce the sauce towards the end of the cooking process. The plan is to have this for dinner with rice, and then reheat the leftover for breakfast and eat it with pandesal. This practice is common in some provinces, and I like the idea of having an afritada sandwich for breakfast.
Reheating the afritadang baboy until the meat falls apart makes it a good filling for pandesal; doing so will also make the vegetables softer, which is ideal for a “palaman”.

I like your cooking show. You articulate the process in cooking very well both in Tagalog and English.. You have a nice deep clear voice and spontaneous in giving directions. You are truly a gem in Filipino cooking.Kudos to you Chef Vanjo Merano.
I just want to ask you, ano ang pagkakaiba sa pagluto ng pork afritada sa pork caldereta. The way I look at it parang pareho lang ang process at ganun din sa mga ingredients. Kung may pagkakaiba man sa ingredients, konting konti lang cguro.
