Father's Day to me is a day to pamper my husband, who’s an excellent father to our four children. We all know the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach, which is why I always prepare my husband's favorite dish: Pork Chunks in Green Sauce with Green Peppers. This dish has a very special meaning; since it’s the first dish my husband taught me when we were newlyweds. Prepare it for your family so you can see for yourself why it continues to be my darling husband's favorite dish!
