Pork Giniling Sarciado

Giniling na Baboy is both a dish and is actually the literal translation of ground pork. It's among the easiest recipes and one that can be tweaked to suit you own taste at the same time cooked with whatever ingredients are available.


While most often it is cooked with tomato sauce, it can be one with out it. Too add more kick to it, I often smother it bottled hot sauce. Namit gid!

Here's a simple recipe for Giniling na Baboy



Ingredients
  • 3/4 kilo ground pork
  • 1 big carrot, cubed
  • 2 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 1 small can peas
  • 2 bell peppers, preferably green and red
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, minced 
  • salt 
  • pepper
  • 1 cup tomato sauce (optional)
  • oil
  • water


How to cook Giniling na Baboy
  1. In a heated wok, cook ground pork in its own oil until brown. You can discard the liquid if you want after.
  2. Add a little oil then saute in garlic and onions.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of water, then add potatoes and carrots. Just adjust amount of water enough to simmer in the vegetables.


  5. After 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked, add peas and bell peppers. (Add tomato sauce here) 
  6. Simmer for around 5 minutes. Make final taste adjustments with salt, pepper or even sugar.
  7. Remove from heat and serve with rice.
You can use almost any vegetable to make this. Patola is one and makes a good dish. Store bought mixed veggies pack like corn-carrots-peas makes a visually appetizing dish.

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.
