Recipe notes

  • For best results, choose pork shoulder with some marbling for tenderness.
  • Adjust water quantity depending on desired sauce consistency; use less for thicker sauce.
  • Optional additions: green peas, bell peppers, or garbanzo beans for extra texture.
  • The pork liver can be omitted if desired, though it provides authentic flavor.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick during simmering, add hot water 1/4 cup at a time.

Storage notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave until heated through.
  • Flavors develop overnight, making this dish excellent for meal prep.
  • Not recommended for freezing due to the texture changes in potatoes and liver.
