Tita Puto's Chicken Stew Recipe

Chicken Stew
A soupy dish with a sweet and salty taste.  Its sweet taste comes from the pork and beans and potatoes.  My mom Meng usually cooks this dish on a rainy day.  She learned this dish from my Tita Puto when she lived with them when she was younger.  Today, I have learned this dish so that I can cook it anytime I miss my mother's cooking.  This has instantly become one of my husband's favorites.

Tita Puto's Chicken Stew

Chicken Stew is a family recipe that my aunt Flor (we call her Tita Puto) taught my mom.
It's basically a one pot dish.

You will need:
1/2 kilo of chicken, your choice of cut
minced garlic
sliced onions
patis or fish sauce
2 small potatoes cubed
half of a cabbage cut into strips
1 can of Pork and Beans
salt and pepper, to taste

How to cook:
Saute garlic and onions, add chicken and "patis" or fish sauce.  Brown chicken a little. Add one small can of Pork and Beans. Let it simmer before adding water.  Allow to boil before adding potatoes and carrots.  Lastly, add shredded cabbage.  Wait for the cabbage to cook.

This dish is a perfect comfort food for the rainy days and cold holiday winds too.

Enjoy it while its hot.
