Canned Tuna Embutido

I am a big fan of canned tuna! In fact I have this "gastronomic affair" with Century Tuna, for more than a decade now - from eating it straight from the can or making simple on the spot recipes.




So I've had sinigang, sisig, casserole, ala king and more on top of just adding calamansi or vinegar to the tuna. So here's a new addition to my (canned) Tuna Recipes collection and it's a delight in every bite!

Here's the recipe for (canned) Tuna Embutido




Ingredients
  • 3 cans (Century) Tuna Solid in Water (use the 184-gram can)
  • 1/3 cup pickle relish
  • 1/2 cup red/green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup carrots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup grated cheese
  • 2 eggs 
  • 6-8 pieces sliced white bread 
  • Salt and Pepper
How to make Tuna Embutido
  1. Drain liquid from tuna and set aside fish meat.
  2. Remove the edges of the sliced bread and soak in tuna water.
  3. In a large bowl, mix thoroughly tuna meat and soaked sliced bread.
  4. Add and mix picke relish, bell peppers, carrots, onions and cheese. 
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Crack and add in eggs and combine thoroughly.
  7. Distribute into desired size and wrap and roll in aluminum foil. 
  8. Steam for 45 minutes to an hour.
  9. When done, let it cool. 
  10. Refrigerate before serving.




The measurements in this recipe are just guides for you can always make adjustments if you feel like it. Enjoy this healthier embutido!

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.
