Pork mechado Recipe is one of many Filipino recipes prepared with tomato sauce. In this mechado variant, I used pork, but this can also be replaced with beef. The advantage of pork meat though is that it’s much faster to cook than beef.

I left the pork in the marinade for this recipe for about 6 hours. It’s not necessary to leave it in the marinade that long, but I like meat to be marinaded for a long time so, the sauce will really soak into the pork. While preparing the Pork mechado recipe I noticed that I was out of Lime, commonly used for cooking this dish, so I used a lemon instead. In the Philippines this dish is commonly used with Calamansi, which are unavailable in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, the lemon also did the trick and made the dish taste the way I know it when I ate it in the Philippines.

Start by cutting the pork into small cubed and marinade it with the Soy Sauce and squeezed lemon. I stirred the meat every now and then while i left it in the ref for about 6 hours. (As I mentioned you don't have to leave it that long and it can be 20 min as well.
