Ingredients
 

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 lb ground Pork or ground Beef
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 8 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large Onion chopped
  • 4 Plum tomatoes, diced
  • 3 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 1 cup Beef broth beef broth
  • 3 red skin Potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 Carrots, peeled and diced the size same as potatoes
  • 1/2 cup Ketchup or Tomato Sauce, (see notes)
  • 1 red Bell Pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cup Raisins
  • A little brown sugar, to taste (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a deep pan. Brown the minced or ground meat. Season with salt. Once the meat has browned, add garlic and onion and saute for another couple of minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Add the following ingredients - tomatoes, fish sauce, beef both, potatoes and carrots - to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 3 hours or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
  • Pour in the ketchup or tomato sauce and add in the chopped red bell pepper and raisins. Stir to mix everything well and cook for 30-minutes to 1 hour until the peppers are tender but not mushy. If you find the sauce to be a little tart, sprinkle a little brown sugar to balance the flavors. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve with jasmine rice.

TIPS & TRICKS
If you don’t fancy fish sauce, you can use soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or salt instead (just adjust it to your taste). Note though that it’s more flavorful with the Fish sauce or Worcestershire Sauce. If you use Worcestershire Sauce, the taste will be slightly different than when you use fish sauce (my first preference) but it will be flavorful. This is just another option for those who don’t like Fish sauce.
In the Philippines, my mom would use Del Monte Ketchup (slightly sweeter than the American Ketchup). When we use this we don’t need to add brown sugar because the ketchup is already quite sweet.
