Adobong Mani with Garlic Chips

Adobong Mani is the most popular way Pinoys enjoy peanuts. Sold along the streets, sold in mall stalls or peddled all around even jeepneys and buses, fried peanuts are perfect munch on the go! 



Much more so if there's a generous amount of fried garlic in your batch - that is if you have a suki mani vendor.


If not, then you just content yourself with the "measly" garlic or you can make your own!

Here's a simple Adobong Mani recipe

Ingredients 
  • 1/2 kilo peanuts, shelled with skin on
  • 1 head garlic (or more), thinly sliced
  • Salt (iodized if possible)
  • Siling labuyo (optional), sliced
  • 1-2 cups cooking oil (adjust if needed)


How to make Adobong Mani 
  1. In a wok over medium heat, pour oil.
  2. When the oil is hot, fry garlic it turns golden brown. Remove from wok and set aside.
  3. Lower the heat then place the peanuts. Fry for around 15 minutes (give or take a few minutes until become brown to your liking) while stirring from time to time.
  4. If you will adding sili labuyo, place the chilies  on the 10th minute
  5. When done, carefully transfer the peanuts out of the cooking pot into a collander (or strainer) to drain excess oil.
  6. Place the peanuts in a bowl. Mix-in fried garlic and sprinkle/mix with salt according to preference. (Some even add sugar to have hints of sweetness)

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
