Wendell made this ono Pork Guisantes last week. The recipe is from an old cook book published in 1974 called Hawaii Filipina's Favorite Recipes.
Gonna take a break from blogging. Ran out of stuff to post. Will be back when there's something for me to share. See ya!

1 lb. pork butt, sliced (separate fatty and lean pieces)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. salt
3 bay leaves, crumbled
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 medium onion, sliced
1/2 cup water
8 oz. tomato sauce
2 tsp. chopped pimento
1 cup frozen peas, cook using package direction
Saute pork fat and garlic until brown; eliminate any excess oil. Mix together salt, bay leaves, pepper, onion and lean pork, then add to pork fat and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until lean pork is cooked. Add water and simmer until water evaporates. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary. Add tomato sauce and pimento and simmer for 1 minute. Add peas.

I love pork and peas, but I usually put way more peas, and add patis for some seasoning!
Lorna, I had to reread the ingredients and you're right . . . no patis. Gotta have patis! And only 1 cup peas? I like your version better!
Ohhh...don't stay away too long! I love your blog!

Yummm!
j: the only Filipino food I love. My two ex coworkers, both Filipino, told me to soak the whole pork butt in vinegar for about an hour. That's how I learned to eat it but now I prefer the sweeter (today's) version. I also flipped it totally and made it more American by using tomato soup and added peas and carrots. I like sweeter foods vs. pickled/sour. -N
Wendell's pork guisantes looks delicious. Have nice break from blogging. I'll log back on in a few weeks. Leave for Hokkaido on Monday, Sayonara.
Awwww, thanks Izsmom.
Yes, Aunty!
You so innovative, N!
Oh Chet! So excited for you and Gayle!!

I saw this and immediately knew it was a Filipino dish and yes, surprised no fish sauce in recipe. Take care, see you back soon😊!
It was, Kat!
