Afritadang Atay ng Baboy (Pork Liver Afritada)

Pork liver afritada is a simple pork liver dish which is very similar to chicken or pork afritada. Instead of using chicken or pork meat, pork liver is used. Cooking liver doesn’t require a long time to tenderize because the longer the cooking time, the tougher it will become. As much as possible, it should only be half cooked but it won’t kill the parasites or organisms which might cause diseases. The only option is to cook it thoroughly just like in the recipe instructions below or you can marinate it first with a little vinegar before cooking.

To cook afritadang atay ng baboy; Heat oil in a pan and saute onion and garlic until onions are soft. Next, add the pork liver and saute for a minute. Then add the patis and stir cook until the patis has slightly evaporated then add the carrots, potatoes, tomato sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes while stirring once in a while. Then add the green peas or chick peas, bell peppers, water, salt and pepper. Simmer for another 3 minutes or until cooked. Last but not the least, add the cornstarch slurry (dissolved cornstarch in water) and simmer for about a minute or more until the sauce is thickened.
