It's lunch time, friends.
Let's have Pinakbet ("Pakbet") for lunch!
Goody, this is one of my simple 'lutong-bahay' favorites. ☺
Vegetables are always a healthy idea in cooking so I prepared Pinakbet for lunch.
Pinakbet is cooked with pork belly sauteed in garlic & onions, vegetables like squash, okra, eggplant, string beans, & ampalaya (bitter melon), and sauced with shrimp paste.
In cooking Pinakbet, I prefer not to add salt anymore because the shrimp paste is already there to add flavor. ☺

ReplyDeleteaww shucks. you made me crave for pinakbet
ReplyDeleteWe just had it yesterday actually. Yum! ^_^ I have always hated ampalaya until recently. Probably my taste glands have upgraded, or perhaps grown old with time that it can now stand its bitterness. Whatever the explanation, I know I now love pinakbet!
