My very own style Ground Pork Menudo


Menudo, originally we use chunks of meat, the carrots, potatoes and bell pepper are cut into bite sizes, that's the original menudo, sometimes they even add hotdogs in there, and add chili pepper to add a little spiciness, but this style of mine is different, i use ground pork, cut the vegetables in small cubes, cause it's easier to eat that way, hahaha, and has more flavor. hope you will enjoy my Menudo. :)


Ingredients:

* 1 kilo ground pork
* 2 pcs potato (300gms)
* 1 pc carrot (100gms)
* 1 pc bell pepper (red or green) i prefer green
* 1 pc red onion
* 2 cloves garlic

Others:

* 2 Tbsp liver spread (you can use 400gms of fresh pork liver)
* 1 cup tomato paste
* 1/4 cup soysauce
* salt & pepper to taste
* 650 ml water (you can use stock, even better)
* 2 Tbsp cornstarch with 40ml water (set in bowl)

Preparation:

peel and dice potatoes carrots and onion as small as your ground pork, dice your bell pepper and garlic as well.

add 3 Tbsp of oil into your pan, sautee onion and garlic for 30seconds or until onion is transparent, then add half of your tomato paste and sautee for 30seconds, this will bring out the redness of your tomato paste, add your ground pork, mix very well, cook meat for 5minutes or until all the meat is evenly cooked, add your liver spread and soy sauce, spread the liver evenly to your meat then add water(stock), potatoes and carrots, let simmer for 15 minutes, then add the remaining tomato paste, season with salt and pepper, then add your "cornstach with water" in the "boiling" sauce for it to thicken, then lastly add you bell pepper. set to plate.
