Binuro nga Paho

When there's more than enough green mangoes at home, they often end up as binuro nga paho (burong mangga) so we can enjoy their green-ness for a longer period of time.


Making "pickles "out of these fruit differ from household to household, so it depends on the recipe you grew up with or if you have none, the one that you find online.

Here's a simple Binuro nga Paho (Burong Mangga) recipe



Ingredients
  • 12pieces Green mangoes (carabao/Philippine variant)
  • 1/2 cup salt, adjust
  • 1 head garlic
  • Water
How to make Burong Mangga
  1. Chop off the "head" part mangoes where the stem is and wash thoroughly.
  2. Slice the mangoes (skin on) into wedges away from the seed.


  3. Squash each clove of the garlic with the side of the knife. You can also leave the skin on.
  4. In a big container (large mayonnaise plastic containers with cover works best), layer mango wedges then sprinkle with salt and place garlic. Adjust the amount of salt and garlic when needed
  5. When layering is finished place a generous amount of salt on top and add 1/4 cup of water.
  6. Cover your container and give it 1-2 hard shakes.
  7. Store for about 4-5 days. It will eventually be filled with liquid from the mangoes,salt and garlic. Serve as appetizer.



You can also add sugar to create a sweet and salty flavour. Aside from being appetizers, it sometimes find its way into some pinamalhan recipes. Enjoy this appetizing binuro nga paho!

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...

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.

Pork Sarciado

This savory and delicious combination of pork ang vegetables is always an extra rice magnet. Much more so if drizzled with hot sauce, a personal favorite. A much simpler version of Pork Menudo, the only difference is the absence of tomato sauce. Just some bread crumbs to thicken the sauce. No need for fancy ingredients either, to give its Spanish origins a gastronomic salute but just in its simplest form, it could already be a hunger satisfier. Now let's begin...
