Kilawing Labanos (Sauteed Chicken or Pork and Radish) Recipe

In my post some years ago, "A Legacy from my Mother-in-Law," I wrote about how I learned to cook. I also shared where I got the recipes for the first few dishes I usually made as a young wife. In this post, I mentioned the recipe book, Masasarap na Lutuing Pilipino ni Aling Charing.  

In a sequel post, I featured one dish from Aling Charing’s recipe book, one of my husband's favorite dishes - - - Kilawing Labanos (sauteed pork and radish). Hubby introduced me to this recipe from Aling Charing's old favorite cookbook. From then on, this dish has become one of my signature dishes at home. Through the years of making this dish, I already made some twists from Aling Charing's original recipe.

Here’s my own version of Kilawing Labanos.

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, sliced thinly
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1/4 pork or chicken breast chunks (I always use chicken because hubby doesn’t eat pork)
1 cup water
1/4 pork liver
2 medium radish, sliced thinly
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
Salt, ground pepper, brown sugar according to taste

Steps:
1. Saute garlic, onion, tomatoes. Add pork or chicken chunks. Simmer for 2 minutes.
2. Add water. Simmer until meat is tender.
2. Add pork liver. Simmer for 1 minute.
3. Add radish, soy sauce and vinegar.
4. Add salt, ground pepper and brown sugar to taste.

Why don’t you give this dish a try? It will surely make a big hit in your family and will make them love radish. I dare you tell me if I’m wrong.
