Recipe: Ginataang Seafood with Sigarillas(Winged Beans)

Happy Rainy days Yamisweeters!

During wet season, we have limited things to do.  That's why food is our comfort.  Masarap kumain kaya masarap magluto.  Today I want to share my favorite dish-"Ginataan".  I grew up in Quezon Province where coconuts are our source of income.  Our house is surrounded by skinny and tall coconut trees.  Every morning, my mother roam around our surrounding to look for the fallen coconuts.  Kaya lahat ng gulay sa amin ay niluluto sa gata. Kaya favorite ko ang "ginataan dish"

This is one of my favorite.  Seafood Ginataan.  To have a complete menu, I added vegetables to have a complete nutrients for the family.  I added sigarillas(winged beans) and organic green bell pepper. 

Mga sangkap:

2 handful sigarillas(winged beans)

2 1/2 cups of warm water

1 coconut(grated)

3 pcs organic bell pepper

2 pcs crab

6-8 pcs shrimp(medium size)

garlic

salt and pepper to taste

Paraan ng pagluluto:

1. Lagyan ng 2 1/2 tasang maligamgam na tubig ang kinayod na niyog at katasin.  (Tip: mas maganda kung bibili ng niyog at ipapakayod at ikaw ang magkakatas, mas sigurado ka na malinis)

2.  Hiwain ang sigarilyas mga 1.5 pulgada(inches)

3. Hugasang mabuti ang mga gulay.

4.  Ilagay sa kawali ang gata, lagyan ng asin at bawang.  Haluin hanggang kumulo.

5.  Ilagay ang hipon at alimasag.  Pakuluin hanggang maging kulay pula ang hipon at alimasag.

6. Ilagay ang sigarilyas at green bell pepper.

7. Lagyan ng paminta.

8. Pakuluin hanggang maluto ang sigarilyas at tikman. Dagdagan ng asin kung kulang sa lasa.

Simple at masustansyang pagkain.  Ginataang seafoods at sigarillas
