IZOBEL`S BRAISED PORK BELLY ( HUMBA ) image

Braised Pork belly or HUMBA ( as filipinos call it ) is one of my favorite filipino comfort food. Most recipes would normally use 1 cup of water instead of pineapple juice. But mommy`s version is perfect the way it is. The blend of taste is just what makes it the best !!!

I didn't like this dish at all. The pork belly was tough and the sauce was bland.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I'm going to try a simpler one next time.

I found the pork belly to be a bit dry. I think I'll braise it for longer next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my humba turned out dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

I've made this dish several times now and it always turns out great. The key is to use good quality pork belly and to braise it for long enough. I usually cook it for at least 3 hours, but sometimes even longer.

This humba recipe is a keeper! The pork belly was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it with rice and a side of vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
