GINATAANG BAYABAS/ GUAVA in COCONUT MILK

DollyLeave a comment

This recipe is from my late uncle from Bicol who inspired me to try it. These two versions are totally different. The first one I added small potatoes, tapioca pearl, banana, corn kernels with brown sugar and bata de coco of course cooked in coconut milk. While the other one is more on guava pure guava with ginger, salt and brown sugar but not too sweet. Then I ate it with cold rice, the way my uncle used to eat it served as viand for him. But for me, I love my version as a dessert or for in-between not as viand.

TAPIOCA PEARL in COCONUT MILK or “GINATAANG SAGO”

DollyLeave a comment

👩‍🍳Here I cooked tapioca pearl in coconut milk with corn kernels, small potatoes, banana and added sugar and purple yam extract to have a purple colour as a sweet tooth for today. It’s been a while seen I prepared this sweetened tapioca pearl. Tapioca or tapioca starch is an almost tasteless starch that is made from the processed and dried cassava root. … Tapioca can be used as an ingredient in cooking, similar to potato or corn starch or sago. As we all know, Tapioca pearls are made from the starch of manioc, the roots of a shrub that was originally native to South or Central America. The raw pearls must be cooked before consumption. In about 30 minutes, they will take on a clear, jelly-like consistency. Tapioca pearls are made from the starch of manioc, the roots of a shrub that was originally native to South or Central America.

BEEF STEW with BANANA BLOSSOM in COCONUT MILK

DollyLeave a comment

My second time to cook this dish. That was 2017 the first and the last time I tried to cook this. Inspired by my hubby during his birthday. I got told that eating foods rich in potassium like yellow bananas and banana flower will maintain a normal level of sodium in the blood and thus reduce and maintain a normal or near to normal blood pressure among hypertensive individuals like me. Next time I‘ll show you my version of „Ginataang Puso ng Saging with Shrimps“ in english Banana Blossom with Shrimps 🦐 in Coconut Milk. Stay tuned for it.

DECLUTTERING INSPIRED By MARIE KONDO/ SELLING at the FLEA MARKET

DollyLeave a comment

As I begin to live the lifestyle of being minimalist in which I part with unnecessary things in order to be more free and to be able to concentrate on the really important things in my life.

Today I started to declutter the whole day until at night with the help of my niece and daughter. Getting rid of all the stuff that I collected for so many years and it is only stock in my cupboard. From the kitchen, bedroom until in the cellar. I want to get rid of the stuff that I don’t need. And sell them at the flea market. Beginning to live a minimalist lifestyle for retirement. We did a good job. Almost everything was sold within three hours. We went home happily for that.

Sajado an Asian cuisine restaurant has six branches in Austria and one of them is here in G3 at Gerasdorf. Good place for those who craving for Asian cuisine.

COUSCOUS SALAD with EGGPLANT 🍆 CREAM GOAT CHEESE

DollyLeave a comment

I am not surprised that the eggplant is used in so many recipes in oriental cuisine. It‘s rich in nutrients and can be prepared in many ways. Here it is refined with Ras el-Hanout and baked before it is served on couscous beds and with promegranate, creamy goat cheese and walnuts. The fresh dressing with mint rounds off the meal. „Ras el-Hanout“ means a spice mix found in varying forms in Tunisia 🇹🇳 Algeria 🇩🇿 and Morocco 🇲🇦. The name in Arabic means „head of the shop“ and implies a mixture of the best spices the seller has to offer. Such as pimento, turmeric, coriander and cinnamon.
