🇵🇭CRISPY PORK BELLY KARE-KARE WITH GINATAANG BAGOONG ALAMANG/QUICK & EASY WAY

👩‍🍳Crispy pork belly cooked in salad master Skillet without using oil or any fat. A variety of vegetables in a sauce flavored and thickened with peanut butter is just as good! Another way to prepare kare-kare is to cook the vegetables separately in a small amount of water. Then I cook the kare-kare sauce using Mama Sita’s Kare-Kare Mix and added the peanut butter. Not the traditional one but turned out good without staying longer in the kitchen.

ANOTHER DAY OF GRILLING!

It’s been a great few weeks, and we’ve been out enjoying the sun, just like today. With beautiful days like we’ve had, it’s time to get grilling. Grilling at lunch, just another day for family grilling!
So what are we to do?? G-R-I-L-L

We seasoned and grilled pork liempo, cobs of corn, chilli, eggplant, again my pork BBQ, and grill sausages made for a great lazy afternoon meal. So far this barbecue season we’ve been eating a lot of pork meat, so hubby and I we decided to add seafoods too. Mussels and shrimps.

Of course fresh mix salad not to forget and cooked rice!
It’s so quick and easy to make all of them.

I’m looking forward to more bbq’s, picnics and potlucks this summer! I can’t wait for all the vegan events happening in the next few weeks or more on weekend!
