Afritada is a Philippine dish consisting of chicken, beef, or pork braised in tomato sauce with carrots, potatoes, and red and green bell peppers. It is served on white rice and is a common Filipino meal. [2] It can also be cooked with seafood. [3] [4]
The name afritada is derived from Spanish fritada (" fried"), referring to the first step of the preparation in which the meat is pan-fried before simmering in the tomato sauce. [5]
Afritada has different names based on the main ingredients of the dish. The most common ones are afritadang manok (chicken afritada), [6] afritadang baka (beef afritada), and afritadang baboy (pork afritada). [4] Afritada can also be used to cook seafood, like fish (afritadang isda) or mussels (afritadang tahong), utilizing the same basic process as meat afritadas. [7] [8]
Afritada is also commonly cooked hamonado-style (with pineapple chunks). This sweet variant is usually known as "pineapple afritada". [9] It is commonly confused with pininyahang manok, braised chicken also made with pineapples. However, the latter does not use tomato sauce. [10] [11]
Similarly, Filipino menudo and kaldereta both also use tomato sauce or banana ketchup. However, menudo includes sliced liver, while kaldereta exclusively uses goat meat. Igado contains liver but no tomato sauce. [12]
