Chicken Afritada

Choice of meat, cooked with carrots, potatoes, red and green bell peppers, and stewed in tomato sauce. Afritada is a traditional Filipino meal. It is a typical Filipino dinner that is typically served with white rice. Seafood can also be cooked with it.

“Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed... I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.” -- Delia Smith

So what is the difference between Kaldereta, Afritada, Mechado, and Menudo? First, what is usually the same?

4 basic ingredients connect the four stews: tomatoes and/or tomato sauce, potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers. Though potatoes and tomato sauce are the most common denominators.

Also, the four dishes have Spanish colonial influence, from the names, ingredients, to the methods of cooking. Mechado has roots in the “mecha” or “wick” of fat used to make tough beef succulent, though the method is used less and less nowadays. Menudo might be from the Spanish word for tiny, but the dish brought over due to colonization might have been a Mexican Menudo.

There are also many other tomato-based dishes such as Pochero, Escabeche, and even Filipino Spaghetti. These stews are so rich in flavor, even vegetable or vegan recipes abound.

And though the debates continue, it means that cooks and chefs are making their own renditions. Together we make these uniquely Filipino stews better and better… and always best for the times, for friends, family, and festivity.
