「C H I C K E N A F R I T A D A」
Braised Tomato Stew, Potatoes, Carrots, Bell Peppers and Garlic Rice

The name comes from the Spanish word Fritada, which generally means a “fried dish”, because you sear the chicken before it goes into the sauce. The dish comes from a Spanish influence, but Filipino home cooks turned it into the mild, everyday stew many of us know today.

Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan came the Philippines in 1521 as colonizers, bringing Spanish ingredients, new ways of cooking and vocabulary which still found in the Philippines national language, Tagalog. While the galleon trade brought fruits, vegetables and root crops from Mexico. They also introduced sautéing and braising and new world staples potatoes and corn.

INGREDIENTS:
Potatoes
Corn
Tamarind
Squash (Chayote)

Filipino American History Month

The influences of Filipino food as we know it today spans both time and place. Filipino food is a mixture of salty, sweet and sour flavors that are a direct fusion of indigenous ingredients and migrant influences.

Each week we will go through the colonial history and cultural influences through food. What does Filipino food look like today? What are families eating? Are the preserving transitional dishes? How does regional food exist amongst the diaspora of Filipinos around the world?

Early inhabitants of the Philippines came from the islands that are now called Indonesia and Malaysia. They were responsible for the most common ingredient, Rice. We also embraced new cooking methods and condiments as our own. Steaming, boiling, stews and roasting over fire. Kare-Kare which is a distinctly Malay dish with the name deriving from the Tamil word Kari, meaning a sauce for a stew. It is seasoned with a condiment shared throughout Southeast Asia, fermented shrimp paste (bagoong).

Available to Sorrento today! Both locations (Normal Heights) tomorrow until the end of the week. While supplies last!

The Philippine is comprised of 7,017 islands tucked between the South China Sea and the Philippine Sea. Surrounded by oceans and lined with rivers, the watery lanes brought boats of Arab traders from the Middle East and opened the gates to Chinese traders. This brought new culinary ingredients, methods and dishes that were adapted by local Filipinos such as soy sauce, bean sprouts, tofu, bamboo shoots, lemongrass, fish sauce and of course, noodles. A
