Sinantomas

Sinantomas is a pork stew dish from the Quezon province prepared with Pork spareribs slowly cooked in tomato sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce and a touch of cheese.

A close cousin to Kaldereta this dish that originated in Quezon province is prepared with Pork spareribs slowly cooked in tomato sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce and a touch of cheese. I never came across this dish when I was in the Philippines but my dire search for unknown and left out Filipino recipe introduced me to this. To the untrained eye it looks like Kaldereta but once you tasted it the difference stops there, its sweet, tangy, savoury and meaty, not spicy hot like its cousin. Like any other Filipino dishes, it is perfect with a freshly cooked jasmine rice.
