PORK ADOBO TACOS 🌮

April 30, 2020May 1, 2020 Dolly

👩‍🍳The most common tacos consist of a tortilla, a flatbread and a filling. The filling of a standard taco consists of minced meat, sliced lettuce, chopped fresh tomatoes, onions and cheddar cheese. Usually a hot salsa is added. Of course there are lots of variations and additional ingredients. This one is made out of our Filipino pork adobo cooked using Toyomansi, a combination of Soy sauce and Calamansi with lots of garlic. It is also typical of a taco that it is basically eaten without cutlery, directly from the hand. As you see on this video down here how I ate.

👩‍🍳These spare ribs have soupy taste due to the addition of more liquid and fresh spinach. A great recipe with an Ilocano twist.

What we love most is the taste combination of white beans and vegetable seasoned with anchovy sauce (Bagoong). For us Ilocanos “Bagoong” is life!

April 28, 2020April 28, 2020 Dolly

Served with yogurt my hubby eat with tomato, fried eggplant, romaine lettuce, and smoked trout. Beetroot contains nitrates, which dilate blood vessels and thus lower blood pressure. 👩‍🍳Thank you so much for dropping by please don’t forget to like, share and subscribe for more Recipes around the Globe and Eating as Medicine on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

SPRING WALK in BELVEDERE | JEN‘s PEAS & MINCED BEEF

April 25, 2020April 25, 2020 Dolly

We had spring walk in Schloss Belvedere with Jen (niece). A masterpiece of total art, Schloss Belvedere is one of the world’s finest baroque palaces.

👩‍🍳Whether fresh, canned or frozen; Peas are very healthy. They belong to the genus of legumes and contain a lot of protein, valuable minerals and trace elements. They grow up in long green pods and are harvested flat as sugar pods. If you let them ripen, wonderfully digestible peas grow, which are then freed from the pod and processed further. Here in Europe we harvest the peas from June to August. From February to June you can buy them frozen or canned. Peas are often used for stews, soups or casseroles. Jen (niece) sautéed it with minced beef added bell pepper, zucchini and carrot. Healthy and good with green peas!

500g minced Beef

1 Carrot 🥕

1 Zucchini

Not to wonder this recipe an Ilocanos flavor. The Ilocanos are known for being hardworking, appreciative and stingy. But not only that, with foodstuff and recipes too with strong , sharp flavors and vivid colors.

So I cooked this 1€ peppers and chili without much ado. Simply seasoned with fermented salted anchovy plus onion and ginger. We Ilocanos called it, „ Pinaksiw sa Bagoong“. Served with rice and sausage sometimes with fried fish or meat. I can’t wait for summer in which I could get all the green leafy vegetables I love. Such as camote tops (talbos ng kamote), water spinach (kangkong), Alugbati (vine spinach), saluyot (Jute leaves) and young bean stalks (talbos ng sitaw).

You need peppers and chili, onion 🧅 ginger, bagoong (fermented salted anchovy), some hot water, 2tbsps. vinegar and vegetable oil.
