Pork guisantes
Pork guisantes (also spelled as gisantes) or pork and peas is a Hawaiian pork stew of Filipino origin. Pork is stewed in a tomato sauce base with peas. It is likely an adaptation of the Filipino dishes igado and afritada introduced by the Ilocanos from their arrival in the early 1900s who came to work in the fruit and sugar plantations.
