In the photo is the turnout of the meat I bought earlier Sunday. It is a serving of pork “Humba” I cook and tried to do plating. It is a Filipino meat dish similar to Adobo with additional other ingredients like the brown sugar and black beans that makes it different. It is best paired with rice, a staple food to every Filipino’s table and drinks of your choice. Carbonated beverages usually do. If you have red wine, that is more fine. Some paired it to their alcoholic drinks during drinking sessions. If you have high cholesterol level, then I think that it is not recommended for you because of its fat. You may try a little or you may not eat it often because as we hear always, everything in excess is not good. Our Nutritionist coordinator then with my previous work told us that the exact serving of meat is just a size of match box. I’m guilty of this because I can eat three slices of this dish in one meal. Good day/evening everyone. Thanks for reading.

@ZedSmart Thank you. My hubby doesn't like fatty food that is why I seldom cook humba. Yes, I know how to cook humba as my late mother thought me how to cook it.

I think you are referring to the Ham. But the pork leg cuts is good also to use for this dish.

@Dyvette16 Ha ha depends on your availability to cook. And I believe that it's not advisable to eat meat often. You know, for some health reasons.

Thanks. Is eating pork dishes not yet prohibited to you? Some people that I know still eat even if they already have certain maintenance medicine for a particular health condition in which eating meat is no longer recommended.
