Macro Friendly Monday Ep. 7 | Pork & Peas (Pork Guisantes) · 7:56 · Video: Ethan Chlebowski · Watch at the source

In short: Ethan Chlebowski demonstrates how to prepare Pork Guisantes, a traditional Filipino stew. This one-pot recipe balances tender pork with bell peppers and peas, utilizing soy and fish sauce to create a deep umami profile that fits within a macro-conscious diet.

The dish centers on 16 ounces of pork, which can be sourced from shoulder, tenderloin, or chops. The cooking process begins by sautéing red bell peppers, followed by aromatics like onion and garlic. The pork is browned for 3 to 4 minutes before being simmered in a tomato-based sauce enriched with soy and fish sauce.

By adding one cup of water and bay leaves, the stew simmers for 20 to 30 minutes until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. This efficient method results in a balanced meal that is designed to be served over a cup of rice.
