Another thing to try during lockdown.

This is one of the easiest recipes I've ever tried off the internet. The original recipe wasn't working for me so I tweaked it a little. My husband and I were living in Bangkok when I first came across this one on the internet. I missed baking but I did not have an oven yet there at that time. So this was a welcome chance to have a homemade dessert for an after-dinner coffee with the hubby.

Trying new dishes, talking to home cooks (in my opinion, the best resources for local recipes are the grandmas and mothers because they know what comfort food really is.) , going to local markets and discovering new flavors and ingredients are the things I love to do when given the chance to travel.

So, after sampling the culinary delights of the Ilocos region, I have decided to try to recreate the different dishes we tasted and also to try to eventually make new ones using the flavors of the region.

But, for now, I am posting just photos of the dishes I recreated together with those that I tasted there. Later in the week, I do hope to post photos of the dishes I will create.

I will include the recipes in case you want to try making them yourselves. And, hopefully, when you do post photos of the dishes you make, you'll include this in your post. 😊

Happy cooking!

Roasted Bell Pepper & Garlic Sauce. It's a bit sweet because of the roasted peppers, and a bit savory because of the roasted garlic.

You can use it either as a dip for fried chicken or fish, or as a garnish for roast chicken, or even as a spread for cold cut sandwiches. It's actually a very versatile sauce!

And, we'll be selling it for a limited time only! A 4-oz jar of this yummy healthy homemade goodie costs only PhP150.

You'll need to place your orders 2 days in advance to ensure optimum freshness and to give us time to check on the availability of the peppers.

For pick up only. Or we can do meet ups in SM Southmall for an order of at least 2 jars.

Aside from the bell peppers and garlic, this also contains olive oil, salt, herbs and spices.

When inspiration strikes you, grab it! Make it. Eat it.

I saw these really big and juicy tomatoes at my favorite vegetable store in last weekend. I felt that they'd be a waste if I just made carpaccio or salad out of them. But I bought them anyway and waited for inspiration to strike. And it did.

So, today was with , fresh and a blend of and , topped with and
paired with country-style fried chicken thighs.

Chicken Coconut Tinola

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp virgin coconut oil, divided

1 kilo chicken, chopped

1 inch ginger root, peeled and sliced

1 medium white onion, sliced and divided

4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

fish sauce (patis), to taste

ground white pepper, to taste

1liter fresh coconut juice

3 pandan leaves, knotted

1 large sayote, peeled and cut into chunks

meat of young coconuts, sliced into strips

a handful of pepper leaves

- Pat the chicken pieces to dry and then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

- In a wok, add 1 Tbsp virgin coconut oil. Once properly heated, fry the chicken until golden brown. Set aside.

- Pour out most of the oil from the wok because you will definitely render more oil from the chicken while frying.

- Add the other tablespoon of virgin coconut oil. Once heated, add the ginger. When the ginger starts to release its fragrance, add ¾ of the onions. Set aside the rest.

- When the onions start to caramelize, add the crushed garlic.

- Add the fried chicken pieces and season with fish sauce and ground white pepper.

- Saute and then cover. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

- Add the coconut juice and knotted pandan leaves and allow to simmer over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes.

- Check seasoning and adjust according to your own taste.

- Add the sayote chunks and allow to simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.

- Add the coconut strips and simmer for another 5 minutes.

- Turn off the heat and add the pepper leaves and the rest of the sliced onions. Cover for 5 minutes before serving.

- Remember to remove the pandan leaves before serving. 😊

Best served with Chicken Liver Sauce.

NOTE: Adjust seasoning according to your personal preference.

The maturity of the coconut affects the overall taste of the soup. I find that the best coconuts are those whose meat is not as soft as the “mala-uhog” or as tough as the ones used for buko salad. The juice of these are just the right level of sweetness. Plus, the meat is tough enough to not entirely dissolve into the soup but tender enough that it kinda melts in your mouth.

This is actually based on Chicken Binakol. And I should probably call it Chicken Binakol. But purists out there might lynch me if I did. 😁😁😁
