Estopado, my dear!

I grow up with my lola's kitchen and I remember that estopado is one of her special recipes. Here's how to do it.

Ingredients:
1 kilo Pata, cut
2 tsp garlic, minced
2 whole onions, chopped
1/2 tsp pepper kernels
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup soy sauce
estopado spices
cooking oil

Procedure:
1. Mix meat, pineapple juice and soy sauce in a sauce pan and bring to boil. Set aside sauce.
2. In a frying pan, bring to heat and put oil. Fry meat and set aside.
3. In a pan, saute garlic, onion and meat.
4. Pour sauce (pineapple and soy sauce mix) and bring to boil.
5. Put pepper and estopado spices. Add sugar.

You can add sugar or salt for your preferable sweetness/saltiness taste.
