Pork Picadillo
"Pork Giniling is a Filipino delicacy for all seasons. It is a very good balance of meat and veggies, plus the ripe tomatoes which is good for the heart! Pork giniling is actually a very versatile dish. Leftover pork giniling are always in for another ride. You may turn them into lumpiang shanghai, be filled into empanada, or simply turn it into an omelette. If you have kids in the house, you may cook pork giniling to help them love and eat healthy veggies.A breakdown of nutrients from carrots, potatoes, and green peas are also great!"
