Home-made Cheese Pimiento Filling

I love Cheese Pimiento and I am sure you love it too! I like how the cheese and the bell pepper create creamy and sweet flavor with hints of tanginess. While most of this filling is conveniently available in stores already bottled, sometimes there's a desire to make our own to suit our tastebuds. And it is very easy to make as ingredients are just in our cupboards and in the groceries.
Here's a very simple Cheese Pimiento Filling recipe



Ingredients
  • 3 cups grated (or "chopped ") cheese, 
  • 1 cup canned pimientos, drained and finely chopped
  • Salt, Pepper and sugar to taste, optional
Procedure
  1. In a bowl, mix the cheese and pimiento until even.
  2. Place in the mixture in the microwave oven for a minute.
  3. Mix and adjust flavor using salt, pepper and sugar.
  4. Let it cool and store in a bottle

Usually, I just use cheese and pimientos and don't bother with the seasonings. Others add butter and evaporated milk to make it more spreadable. You can also use a mixture of cheese so you can experiment with the taste as well as consistency. Maybe next time I'll add some garlic powder  to have another flavor dimension to this cheesey filling we all love. 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
