Linagpang na Bangus

There’s an unwritten rule in the house – leftover fried fish will become cardillo while broiled fish becomes linagpang. While cardillo involves a more complicated process of making an egg-based broth for the fish, making linagpang is just easy as 1-2-3.  It has become quite a dish in the house as there’s no need to wait for leftover fishes – bangus in particular, in order to make linagpang.
Here's the recipe for Linagpang na Bangus

Ingredients
  • 1 whole bangus, sinugba/inihaw/broiled with skin on
  • 2 whole onions, sliced
  • 4 big tomatoes, sliced
  • Onion leaves (garnish)
  • Salt
  • 2-3 cups boiling/hot water
The suggested way of broiling bangus for linagpang - whole with skin on.
How to make Linagpang na Bangus
  1. Flake broiled bangus, into "bite size" pieces.
  2. Mix with onions and tomatoes.
  3. Add boiling water and "sort of mix with force to bring out the flavors and juices". 
  4. Season with salt and garnish with  onion leaves.
  5. Serve hot.
While this recipe is for bangus, other fishes can also be used like tilapia, catfish and other fishes that can be broiled with scales on.
Linagpang na Pantat (Catfish)
The recipe can be tweaked to suit your taste like adding chilies/siling labuyo for a spicy broth. Others also broil the tomatoes and onions before slicing them. Some recipes add guinamos to the broth and give it a saute before adding water and bringing it to a boil.

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

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.
