How to cook mechado the simplest way.  If you want to learn how to cook mechado in the simplest way, here's how:

What should be prepared:

1 kilo of pork (kasim cut into cubes)
5 pcs medium-sized potato cut into 4

2 pcs of onion cut into cubes
5 pcs of tomato cut into cubes
1 red bell pepper cut into strips
bay leaves *optional*

half cup soy sauce
half cup water

calamansi extract, water and soy sauce

Okay, put the meat, potato, onion, tomato, calamansi extract, soy sauce, and water in a pan.  Using your bare hands (make sure it's clean.. super clean), mix all the ingredients.  Do this for about five minutes so the taste and flavors will stick to our meat.

Cover your pan and put it in heat.  Wait until it boils.  If you see that it's boiling, lower the fire until you see that the meat is cooked and the sauce is already thick.  Remove the cover of the pan then add the bell pepper and bay leaves.  Mix then turn off the fire.

is already thick since some potatoes were mashed

after you add the bell pepper,
turn the fire off and there you go

Put it on a clean serving plate and your mechado is now ready to serve.















**Note:  All the ingredients are natural.  No tomato sauce added that makes our mechado tasty.  Best served with patis (fish sauce) na may siling labuyo (Thai pepper or chili pepper).
