STIFADO

from..."Miss Mary's Kitchen"
Stifado
This is a recipe that I got from our close friend Lenny, whose sister lived in the Philippines for years, and I believe that is the origin of this one. This is a great winter time recipe, and we have enjoyed it many times over the years. Lenny was the best man at our wedding and this is one of the best presents from him, since he is a very good cook!

STIFADO

1 large pork shoulder
3/4 cup soy sauce
juice of 2 lemons
black pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic
1 and 1/2 cups pineapple juice
water

Cook the pork shoulder in water in a Dutch Oven until done (2-3 hours) at 350 degrees
Save 3 cups of the liquid

Mix the other ingredients in with the 3 cups of liquid and pour over the pork shoulder
Continue cooking until the liquid has reduced down gravy

Serve with rice and fresh greens (we like Yellow Saffron rice with this dish)
Serves 6 to 8
