Pork Giniling
Pork giniling is Filipino ground pork simmered in tomato sauce with diced potatoes and carrots, seasoned with pork bouillon and a touch of sugar. The pork browns first in garlic and onion, then braises until the sauce thickens and the vegetables turn tender. Top it with hard-boiled eggs and serve it warm with steamed white rice.
