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...

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...
