Shrimp Stew in Unripe Mango (Sinigang na Hipon sa Mangga)

"A delectably new welcome," Billy, my husband, said as he sipped the soup from my newly discovered dish, Sinigang na Hipon sa Mangga (Shrimp Stew). 
I cooked this for dinner. I saw the recipe from the September 2012 issue of Yummy Magazine this morning before I went out for my usual Saturday routine. The original recipe calls for pork ribs but it was too late for me to find one of good quality from my favorite meat vendor as it was already late in the morning, so I bought shrimps instead. (I was too lazy to rise up early today. Not feeling well for the past days. Called in sick the other day after having trouble sleeping due to my allergic cough. Same thing happened last night that I woke up feeling so weak this morning. Good my husband went to attend the Men's Fellowship in our church and wasn't home 'til 9:30 am.) I've been coughing on and off and the itchy throat caused me to crave for something sour. This dish is just perfect!

This was the first time I ever tasted any sinigang dish using unripe mango instead of the usual fresh tamarind, guava or kamias (bilimbi) or tamarind-based seasoning powder or bouillon cube. 

Ingredients:
2 tbsps cooking oil
1/2 k pork ribs, cut into large cubes (which I substituted with 1/2 k shrimps)
1 L water
1 pc onion, quartered
2 pcs tomatoes, quartered
1 pc unripe mango, sliced
2 pc Knorr Pork Cubes
1 pc green chili
1 bundle green beans
1/2 pc cabbage, cut into wedges
Steps: 
  1. Saute ribs in oil, add water, onion, tomatoes and mango and bring to boil.
  2. Add Knorr Cubes, reduce heat to simmer and add chili.
  3. Once pork is fork tender, add beans and cabbage and simmer until cooked.
As I mentioned earlier, I used shrimps instead of pork, so I used Knorr Shrimp instead of Pork Cube. I added a pinch of salt because I just used 1/2 Knorr Shrimp Cube. 

Now, can you think of another variation out of this recipe? How about giving it a try and sharing your own version? I would love to hear that!

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... Ingredients: 2 tbsps reserved oil from bottled sardines 2 tbsps olive oil 1 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 cup diced tomato 1 cup flaked Spanish sardines 1/3 cup Pesto sauce 1/4 cup pitted black olives 1/4 cup button mushrooms 1/2 kilo pasta noodles, cooked according to package instructions salt and pepper to taste Whole pieces of Spanish sardines (1 piece as topping per serving) Parsley for garnish   Steps: In a large saute pan, heat oil from sardines. Add olive oil as needed. Saute garlic until fragrant. Add diced

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.
