Kilawing Labanos (Sauteed Chicken or Pork and Radish) Recipe

In my post some years ago, "A Legacy from my Mother-in-Law," I wrote about how I learned to cook. I also shared where I got the recipes for the first few dishes I usually made as a young wife. In this post, I mentioned the recipe book, Masasarap na Lutuing Pilipino ni Aling Charing.  

In a sequel post, I featured one dish from Aling Charing’s recipe book, one of my husband's favorite dishes - - - Kilawing Labanos (sauteed pork and radish). Hubby introduced me to this recipe from Aling Charing's old favorite cookbook. From then on, this dish has become one of my signature dishes at home. Through the years of making this dish, I already made some twists from Aling Charing's original recipe.

Here’s my own version of Kilawing Labanos.

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, sliced thinly
2 large tomatoes, sliced
1/4 pork or chicken breast chunks (I always use chicken because hubby doesn’t eat pork)
1 cup water
1/4 pork liver
2 medium radish, sliced thinly
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
Salt, ground pepper, brown sugar according to taste




Steps:
1. Saute garlic, onion, tomatoes. Add pork or chicken chunks. Simmer for 2 minutes.
2. Add water. Simmer until meat is tender.
2. Add pork liver. Simmer for 1 minute.
3. Add radish, soy sauce and vinegar.
4. Add salt, ground pepper and brown sugar to taste.


Why don’t you give this dish a try? It will surely make a big hit in your family and will make them love radish. I dare you tell me if I’m wrong.

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.

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

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.
