CHICKEN POCHERO
































INGREDIENTS: 
1 whole chicken (about 1 k.), cut into 16 pieces
1 whole garlic, crushed
2 onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1/2 c. of tomato paste
1 chorizo de bilbao, minced
2-3 c. of broth (water will do if no broth is available)
1 carrot
6 saba bananas
3 kamote (sweet potatoes)
1/2 head of cabbage
100 g. of baguio beans (also known as french string beans)
3 tbsps. of olive oil
2-3 c. of cooking oil
salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel the saba bananas. Cut each into three, slicing diagonally. Peel the kamote and carrot, and cut into 1″ x 1″ x 4″ sticks. Trim the beans and cut into halves. Core the cabbage and slice vertically into four segments.
Heat the cooking oil in a large wok or skillet. When smoking, fry the kamote sticks until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Reheat the oil until smoking once more. Fry the saba banana pieces until golden brown. It would be a good idea to test a piece for doneness before taking them off the heat. The saba bananas may take longer to cook than the kamote. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Reheat the oil once again. Fry the chicken pieces, in batches, until well browned and crisp on the outside. Fry over very high heat to make sure that while the outside is crisp, the inside remains moist. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
