Ingredients

  • 2-3 pcs. large U.S. Russet potatoes, peeled and halved
  • 15 pcs. whole peppercorns
  • 1 kg. whole fat chicken, fat removed and set aside
  • 2 pcs. whole chorizo de Bilbao, quartered diagonally
  • 100 grams dried ham bone
  • 8–10 cups cold water
  • 100 grams Chinese ham bits
  • 1 pc. whole large white onion, peeled
  • 3 Tbsps. Kikkoman Soy Sauce
  • 3 Tbsps. sherry
  • rock salt to taste
  • enough banana leaves to cover pot or palayok
  • string

Preparation

1. Stud potatoes with peppercorns. Singe banana leaves until smoky and fragrant.
2. In a heavy pot or palayok, render oil from chicken fat. Use to sauté chorizo until oil turns an orange color.
3. Add ham bone, chicken and water to cover. Bring to a boil.
4. Add onion and U.S. Potatoes, soy sauce and sherry.
5. Add ham bits. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer.
6. Cover pot tightly with banana leaves.
7. Cook for 35 minutes then check doneness of chicken. If not yet fall-off-the-bone tender, cook for another 10 to 15 minutes.
8. Taste broth. It must have the smoky fragrance of burnt banana leaves. Season with rock salt if needed.
9. Best enjoyed by mashing the potatoes in the broth.
