Yummy Sunday again and I am so excited to show my ginataang talong with bagoong and pork. This morning I was craving for veggies and coconut milk and to get it I have to cook something that this two can go together. So I looked at the panty and found out that I have a small can of coconut milk, thawed meat, sliced my eggplant and chopped garlic and onion. But here is the picture I'd like to show.

Ingredients:

garlic, minced

onion, chopped

eggplant, chopped

pork (optional) chopped

2 tbsp bagoong

1 small can coconut milk

Procedure:

1. Let the pork brown first in a pan. Take it out from the pan and remain a little oil in the pan for sauteing.

2. Saute the onion first then garlic.

3. Mix the brown pork and stir.

4. Then put the eggplant then put the coconut milk. Cover it and adjust the heat to low-medium.

5. When the eggplant is tender and it is boiling put the bagoong.

6. Season with pepper and a little salt if you like since bagoong is already salty.

So there that is all done simple as that!

Ginataang Tilapia..

I love fish and honestly in my hometown in Pinas we have fresh fish everyday. DAhil ako nga ang palaging mag marketing I learned that marami palang klase ang tuna. May mga kahit anong sizes ang mga isda at meron ding isda na parang kasing taba nang pork fat. It was in the year 90's when we are introduced sa Tilapia, siguro dahil people around our city are into fish pen business and raising Tilapia, bangus, prawn etc is their main concern. By the time na mag harvest sila marami ang mapunta din sa local market and that is when the prices goes low and we have too many choices of fish to buy. When I get here sa US I noticed specially dito sa MI that walang masyadong fish dito specially fresh fish. Dito ako nangarap almost araw2x sa mga fresh fish that back in PInas is just a tricycle away hehe. Kaya everytime hubby and I went to Mexican store I bought at least 3 or 4 Tilapia and per pound cost $1.69. In this recipe I used

1. 1 tilapia (cut in halves)
2. ginger slice
3. onion slice
4. tomato slice
5. garlic minched
6. coconut milk
7. 1 eggplant slicelittle water
8. salt and pepper to taste

I put the first 5 ingredients in a saucepan. I put a little water and let it simmer. When it starts to boil pour the coconut milk. Then put the eggplant let it simmer to until it boils then put the heat to low heat. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Kain na! P.S dont forget to clean the tilapia fish in and out.
