Rellenong Alimasag

When one talks about relyeno, it's always bangus that comes to mind. How about serving crabs using this cooking method! It's a much simpler recipe compared with making bangus relyeno as you avoid the task of being meticulous in handling the skin that will serve as "wrap".




Here's a simple recipe in making this appetizing Relyeno nga Kasag


Ingredients
  • Crab shells  
  • 3/4 kilo crabmeat (steam crabs then remove meat)
  • Assorted vegetables likes cubed carrots, corn kernels, green peas, etc 
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 3 whole eggs, beaten
  • 5 cloves Garlic, minced 
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • Salt, pepper or seasoning mixes
  • Oil
  • Water




How to make Crab Relyeno
  1. In making crab relyeno, just make sure the shell is still whole and cleaned thoroughly after taking out the meat and other parts. 
  2. In a pan, saute garlic and onion in oil then add crabmeat. If you could get hold of crabmeat being sold in the groceries, much better since you can make it meatier and make it more generous. 
  3. Add-in carrots, corn and peas plus anything that suits your taste. 
  4. Season with salt and pepper or seasoning mix.
  5. Remove from heat and let it cool a bit


  6. Add egg and breadcrumbs. Mix well. Adjust with water if necessary
  7. Stuff crabmeat filling in the crab shells. Set aside
  8. Pour oil in a wok and make sure the oil is hot when you place the crabs - shell part goes first. 
  9. Slowly pour oil over the stuffing to cook the "crust" so it can hold the stuffing.
  10. When its done, you can flip the crab to fully cook the stuffing. But if you have a deep fryer - just place the crabs and fry until the stuff becomes golden brown. 
  11. Serve and enjoy!

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
