Pork Pina Hamonado
April 11, 2005
My husband loves Tocino (cured pork) that I’d always prepare it when he requests for it. One time, I remembered tasting my mother’s hamonado which is also cured pork but with extra taste combined so I thought why not make it instead. This was my first attempt and I made it as simple as I could. Ik was tevreden (I was satisfied) with the result and so was husband, he really liked it! This was done without using Prague powder (salitre) which is commonly used for curing pork.
Ingredients
1 kilo pork with a bit of fat, sliced thinly as possible
1 cup white sugar
2 tsp iodized salt
1 small fresh or canned pineapple, sliced into strips or chunks, reserve its juice
slices of young dutch cheese
thread to hold it together.
Procedure
Marinate pork in sugar, salt and pineapple juice for few hours, a day is better.
Spread pork on a plate then arrange slices of pineapple and cheese in the middle and start to roll the pork until you’re satisfied with its thickness. Tie it firmly with thread.
In its marinating juice, simmer the pork on low heat, turning to prevent it from sticking to the pan. When inside is cooked, remove meat from the pan and let the rest of the juice cook through, this will be used as sauce.
For ease of cutting, chill the meat and remove the thread.
Eet smakkelijk!

Theyie: I wish you have the time to cook these days (as this reply’s way toooo late)
CARMS: hello there, dear. I must also thank my mom for this ^_^
SCHATZLI: have you tried it yet?
JMOM: hello there!! I’m curious if you have done this, gotta hop you.
JAYRED: thanks for visiting (late reply huh?)
TAHLEY: hello there! of course everyone’s welcome, thank you for leaving a message.
In my experience, I would always use young cheese for this dish as old cheese tend to hardened fast once the dish sets cold. I also use plain tasting cheese, no herbs nor pits (seeds.)
CHELLI: hi!! dear, I can’t visit your blog because I’ve lost the password!!
do try the hamonado…and me love you back ^_^
