MANGO AND CHICKEN STIR-FRY

• 

Having mango as one of the important ingredients in a stir-fried dish gives it a very Filipino flavor. While mangoes grow in other countries, they are never as sweet. Today, they are grown all year round. More expensive during non-summer months though–the price doubles. And they are still sweetest during the summer. Luckily, the mango that went into my stir-fried dish was sweet.

YOU NEED…….

* breast of one chicken
* 1 tbsp. of finely minced garlic
* 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
* 2 white onions
* some scallions
* 2 small carrots
* 1 red bell pepper
* 1 ripe mango
* 1/4 c. Oyster sauce
* I cooked in my Saladmaster Skillet without using Oil/ or 2 tbsps. of vegetable oil

HOW TO…….

—Debone the chicken breast (I use breast fillets). Cut into strips. Place in a bowl. Pour in the soy sauce and mix well. Set aside.

—Peel the ginger and slice thinly then cut into matchsticks, peel and chop the onions coarsely, peel the carrots, cut in half vertically then slice thinly. Core, seed and cut the bell pepper into wide strips.

—Cut the mangoes down the middle, avoiding the seed. Do the same with the other side. With a spoon, scoop out the meat of the mango in one piece. Do the same with the other half. Cut the meat into strips.

—Heat a wok or skillet. When hot, pour in the vegetable oil. Add to the hot oil onion, ginger, garlic, marinated chicken. Stir-fry over high heat for about 30 seconds. Cook, stirring for about two minutes. Add the carrots, bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the mango strips and toss a few times. Cook just until the mango strips are heated through. Serve at once, garnish with scallions on top.

CHICKEN-MANGOES IN YOGHURT

I will bluff just this time. Because it taste heavenly, the aroma of cilantro, light sourness of the yoghurt was barely distinguished after mixing with the sweetness of the mangoes, and no sharp flavor. Smells good with cilantro and lemon zest.

CHICKEN-GINGER STEW

“Tinolang Manok” or Chicken Ginger Stew with Vegetables recipe is the filipino food dish that I was planning to cook when I arrived here in Vienna, way back more than 2 decades ago, not even knowing that I had to travel for an hour from our place just to buy filipino food ingredients. These filipino food ingredients are usually sold in Asian stores but some are not that often displayed. Thanks God, now a days not anymore. With my chili leaves “Dahon ng Sili”, sariling tanim and papaya from Indian Supermarket makes this dish so perfect. Cooking away from your native country is challenging but enjoyable, especially when you are with your love ones. Happy Prepping!

HUNTER’S CHICKEN STEW (CACCIATORE)

HUNTER’S CHICKEN STEW-is a another famous Italian chicken dish with many variations or different versions available worldwide. The basic method is to slow cook chicken pieces in red wine together with vegetables and herbs. This recipe uses, among other ingredients, black olives, capers and fresh basil leaves. The chicken pieces should be cooked slowly, over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. This might seem a lot, but it is what makes this dish so delicious. Homey, simple to prepare, and it makes you just want to mop up every drop of the sauce. Serve with bread, rice or pasta.

A hunter’s stew is a dish that can be prepared with minimal fuss. Some say that the really traditional cacciatore does not include tomatoes, uses dark meat only and the cooked dish is brown with a thick gravy-like sauce. We are PINOY so we enjoyed our chicken hunter’s stew for our lunch with rice.

YOU NEED…….

* abou 6 portion of Chicken (I used the upper part of the leg)
* 1/4 c. of Olive oil (you can use extra virgin oil)
* 1 red Onion, chopped
* 4 cloves of Garlic, chopped
* 1 cup of chopped tomatoes (fresh or canned, but please don’t use tomato sauce)
* 100 g Chanterelles (or you can use button mushrooms)
* 1 tbsp. of dried Oregano
* 1 tsp. of dried Basil leaves
* 1 1/2 cup of Red wine
* 3 tbsps. of Capers, ( preferably in brine (salted water)
* 15-20 Black olives, pitted
* Salt and Pepper to taste

HOW TO…….

—In a large frying pan over medium heat add the olive oil and onions and saute the latter until become wilted. Add the garlic and continue until the onions and garlic are beginning to turn brown. Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides.

—Add the dried oregano, dried basil leaves, tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Then add red wine, stir well, cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on very low heat.

—Add the mushrooms, capers and black olives, and cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat.

—For a complete meal, serve with risotto, rice or spaghetti. We are PINOY!, so I serve it with rice!

TURNIP CABBAGE AND CHICKEN STEW

👩‍🍳TURNIP CABBAGE or “KOHLRABI” is a cultivated variety of cabbage. Brassica oleracea whose thickened stem is eaten as a vegetable also called turnip cabbage which originated in Europe. Low in calories, kohlrabi is an excellent source of vitamin C, minerals, and dietary bulk. The young tender leaves may be eaten as greens; the thickened stem is served raw or cooked. Though not widely grown commercially, it is popular in some regions. Like in Austria and Germany. I cooked it with chicken and Chinese cabbage or as a stew. And it turned out good. Another creation and experiment by me.

YOU NEED…….

* 1 whole chicken, cut into serving portion
* 1 pc. turnip cabbage, peeled and sliced
* half a head of chinese cabbage
* 1 stalk of lemongrass (tanglad)
* 1 pc. onion

HOW TO…….

CHICKEN IN SOUR CREAM WITH DILL

Aha! the magic of sour cream. And if that’s too sinful for you and you worry about clogged arteries, substitute yogurt and the result is just as good. This chicken in sour cream dish is so good that you’ll want to dip pieces of bread in the sauce until your plate is quite dry.

YOU NEED…….

YIELD: 4-6 SERVINGS
* 1 whole chicken
* 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
* 2 carrots, peeled and cut into wedges
* 1 large white onion, peeled and cut into wedges
* 1 c. of sour cream or 250 g
* 1/2 c. of butter
* salt and pepper
* finely sliced or chopped dill

HOW TO…….

—Place the chicken in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

—Heat the butter in a large, wide cooking pan (I used a wok). When hot, add the chicken and fry over high heat until the edges start to brown. Don’t worry if the edges appear too brown at this point — the sour cream will take care of that so don’t sweat it unless you really burned them.

—Add the onion and continue frying until the edges of the chicken start to brown.

—Add the potatoes and carrots wedges. Fry for a minute longer.

—Pour in some water and cover, simmer for 30 minutes until chicken and potatoes are tender.

—Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped dill, mix all together and pour in sour cream continue cooking for about 5 minutes.

—Serve with pasta or rice. We used to eat it with penne pasta!

Some tips:
This dish is best when cooked a day ahead. Everything is much tastier after reheating.
If sour cream is not available in the supermarket, make your own. Pour a cup of cream in a bowl and squeeze half a lemon over it. Let stand for 10 minutes before stirring and using.

CHICKEN AND POTATOES WITH CREAMY CHEESE SAUCE!

A simpler version of the baked creamy chicken and potatoes dish. I omitted the onion which can hasten spoiling, used heavy cream instead of skim milk and, instead of baking I simply cooked the dish on the stove top. During schooldays my 2 kids would be home for dinner every night and we would only get to sit down to dinner as a family during weekends. Beacause most of the time the dish I cooked for the lunch would be their dinner too. When they get home on weekdays around 5 until 6 pm (late afternoon).

YOU NEED…….

* 1 whole chicken, cut into serving portions
* 4 potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
* 2 tbsps. of butter
* salt and pepper
* 1/2 c. of heavy cream or skim milk
* cheese (any kind), sliced, crumbled or grated ( I used American Toast Cheese)
* 3/4 cup of water or less

HOW TO…….

—Melt the butter in a frying pan. Cook the chicken until lightly browned, turning them over to brown both sides evenly. Add the potatoes and continue cooking until the edges of the potatoes are slightly browned as well. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in 3/4 cup of water and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes after which, most of the liquid should have evaporated.

—Pour in the heavy cream or milk and add the cheese. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, until the cheese melts.

—Stir the melted cheese into the sauce. Simmer for two minutes longer then turn off the heat. ENJOY!

“HALANG-HALANG” (chicken dish)

That “Halang-halang” literally translates to “anghang-anghang” spicy-spicy and chilis are an essential ingredient of the dish. There are many ways of cooking halang-halang, my mother says, it depends upon the Region. Or if you are Bicolano, Ilocano, Visayan or in Tagalog Region. So here I used chicken and “siling haba” the red ones.

Sounds a funny name, isn’t it? Halang has two meanings in the Filipino language. As an adjective, bent or twisted and a verb to block. It’s really spicy normally and beacause my family doesn’t dig of too spicy or too hot, I made it mild as what they prefer but my family and I we love it.

YOU NEED…….

* 1 whole chicken
* 4 pcs. “siling haba” (red ones and mild hot)
* 1 onion, roughly cut into cubes
* 4 cloves crushed garlic, peeled
* 1 thumb-sized ginger, peeled and sliced
* a bunch of scallions
* 1-2 pcs. chayote or sayote (or more if you prefer more vegies)
* 1 can of coconut cream
* olive oil
* 3 tbsps. soy sauce
* “patis” (fish sauce)
* some mineral water, enough to cover the meat and vegetables!

HOW TO…….

—Cut the chicken into serving portion and season with soy sauce and set aside.

—Heat a pot or wok and add olive oil. Saute the onion, garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add the chicken until light brown both sides.

—Add the siling haba (red ones and mild hot) and pour in mineral water to cover and season with patis (fish sauce). Cover and bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until chicken is tender.

— Add sayote, scallions and coconut cream. Cover again until sayote is done:wink:

—Serve the halang-halang hot with rice. This was our lunch today:wink:

CHICKEN-SUMMER VEGGIES with TOMATO PASTE

Kaya heto na naman ako maghahalungkat sa refrigerator at cupboards para sa bagong imbento nang mairaos ang pananghalian…lol…sounds like talagang naghihirap ha!
If you need to stretch your meat, cut them into smaller pieces. Add vegetables that go well with the meat and — voila! — you’ve doubled the amount of the cooked dish. It’s something I learned from my late nanay.

The summer vegetables which I used here are frozen ones which composed of leek, carrots, green peas, kholrabi (turnip cabbage), and the chicken are only few cuts left over from my hubby’s last cooking which he deep-freezed. Then I just added a broth cube (chicken) and tomatoe paste. Also a few cuts of potatoes. It looks like “afritada” or “caldereta”, but it’s not. I simply saute the whole stuff and added tomatoe paste at the end a little bit water, covered and cooked until the whole thing are cooked over medium heat. Voila! — resulta, ubos at nakatipid na naman ako :pump-;):

CHICKEN FILLET-VEGETABLE IN TERIYAKI SAUCE

Don’t I mean chicken teriyaki? No, only the sauce I used.
Terriyaki is a cooking technique used in Japanese cuisine in which foods are broiled or grilled in a sweet soy sauce marinade. Terriyaki is served in most modern Japanese cuisines.

The word teriyaki derives from the noun teri which refers to a shine or luster given by the sugar content in the tare, and yaki, which refers to the cooking method of grilling or broiling. Traditionally the meat is dipped in or brushed with sauce several times before and during cooking.

When you discover what’s in a bottle of teriyaki sauce, you will wonder why you have been buying bottles and bottles of the stuff when it’s so easy to prepare it at home.
