Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; add the pork chops and return to a boil. Cook the pork chops at a boil for 5 minutes, remove, and set aside to cool. Remove 1 cup of the broth from the pot and set aside for later use. Once the chops are cooled to the touch, cut into bite-size pieces.
- Return the water to a boil; add the pork liver to the pot and cook at a boil until tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard the liquid. Set the liver aside to cool; cut into bite-size pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir the pork chops into the onion and garlic; cook and stir together for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and reserved broth; cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir the pork liver, garbanzo beans, raisins, and potatoes into the mixture; cover and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.

FILIPINO MENUDO
Comfort food Filipino style! This is one of my husband's favourite Filipino dishes. I make this in big batches because it freezes well, and it tastes better the longer you keep it. It can stay for up to 2 weeks in the freezer. This can also be cooked in a slow cooker like the usual slow cooker stew.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion, and sauté until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the ground pork and cook, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes or until the meat is lightly browned. Stir in the fish sauce.
- Add the tomato sauce and water. Stir, cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the carrots, potato and bell pepper, and cook for 10 minutes. Add the green peas and raisins, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with steamed rice.
Tips:
- Use a large pot to make the menudo. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook and prevent the menudo from becoming too thick.
- Brown the meat in batches. This will help to prevent the meat from overcrowding the pot and steaming instead of browning.
- Add the vegetables and cook until softened. This will help to add flavor and texture to the menudo.
- Add the broth and seasonings. Bring to a simmer and cook for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.
- Serve the menudo with your favorite toppings, such as rice, cornbread, or tortillas.
Conclusion:
