Mushroom Delight: Oyster Mushroom in Tortilla Wraps

 Welcome this new dish--- Mushroom Tortillas--- on a rainy day.
"Incessant heavy to torrential rains spawned by the southwest monsoon enhanced by tropical storm  Maring" (Inquirer News says) struck the northern part of the Philippines yesterday. This brought heavy rains since last night and has left many flooded areas that aside from being a holiday in my place today (being Quezon City Day), suspension of classes and government offices has also been declared in the affected provinces.

The photo below shows part of the South Luzon Express Way (SLEX) that Billy, my husband, was supposed to traverse today. It's a blessing that he was spared when he decided not to drive to the university (as he does very early Monday mornings every week) even before the no-class declaration was aired.

This simply means that, with hubby at home, I had to cook something healthy. So here's this new mushroom dish I still haven't tried before. Oh, yes, still using my stock of oyster mushrooms delivered to me a few weeks ago, that I kept in the freezer (the saleslady said it will stay months in the freezer, and that I still need to prove). I mentioned that in my previous post.  

I remember the several pieces of tortilla wrappers left in the fridge although I already bought some lumpia wrappers specially for this mushroom dish.

Ingredients:
300 gms. oyster mushroom, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 of large piece of carrot, grated
1 bunch of spinach cut into small pieces
1 egg
Salt, ground pepper, cumin, and cayenne powder according to taste
6 pcs tortilla wrapper (or lumpia wrappers)
Ceasar or honey mustard dressing

 Steps: 
1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.
2. Wrap 2 tablespoons-full of mixture in tortilla or lumpia wrapper and roll

 3. Heat oil in a pan. Fry rolls until they turn golden brown.
I made two sets: one set using lumpia wrappers and another set using tortilla wrappers
  4. Drain in tissue paper. Serve hot with favorite dip.

We enjoyed both sets using alternately honey mustard and Ceasar dressing.

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.
