Samosas


Preparing for a Rummage Sale sponsored by our church two Saturdays ago caused our whole family to search for books, clothes, CDs, kitchenwares, etc. from the bookshelves, closet and wherever. Doing so brought to my attention a recipe book given to me as a birthday gift by my youngest daughter, Ana Cristina, a few years back. It's a Del Monte Kitchenomics Cookbook Volume III issue in celebration of their 20 years of creative cooking. Page 64 of the cookbook features Samosas, a dish my husband and I ordered when we went out for a family dinner at Banana Leaf last Christmas season. I mention this in my post entitled, New Year Greetings from my Family to Yours.

My Del Monte Kitchenomics Cookbook
In my excitement to try it, I immediately bookmarked the recipe and prepared the following ingredients:

8 pc large square lumpia wrappers, each piece cut lengthwise into 4

Filling:
1 pc medium onion, chopped
350 gms ground pork (but I substituted chicken)
1 pc medium carrot, cut into small cubes
1 pc small singkamas, cut into small cubes
1/4 tsp curry powder (I love the smell of cumin so I also added a pinch)
2 stalks green onions, chopped
1 pouch Del Monte hot and spicy pizza sauce (I just used Tomato Sauce because my husband doesn't like hot dishes)

Steps:
1. Filling: Saute onion and chicken. Cook for 5 minutes. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp iodized fine salt, carrot, singkamas, curry powder and cumin. Cook for 8 minutes with constant stirring.                                                  



     
2. Add Del Monte Pizza Sauce and green onions. 
  3. Cook for 2 minutes. Wrap every 1/2 tbsp of  mixture   in lumpia wrapper and fold to form triangles. 
 4. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
 
  Well, this was another hit as my husband said "Purrr-fect!"

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is...

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus

Ensaladang Alugbati (Malabar Spinach Salad)

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
