Chicken Pochero. I would remember my mother cook Pochero, and I would equate that with “cochero” or “kutsero”, which referred to the men who drove calesas or horse drawn carriages of vintage Post-war Manila streets. Growing up in Villa Fojas with calesas and cocheros, this was my keenest association with the dish although it had nothing to do with horses. A luxurious Sunday dish, at least for me, this is a Filipino stew of either beef, pork or chicken with garbanzo beans, Chorizo de Bilbao, Saba bananas, potatoes and green beans. Too bad, there’s always none left for Mondays. That good! Yes, it was that good!
