White Salad

So what's a White Salad? It's just a Fruit or Buko Salad with all the white (and off white ingredients).


Simple as it may seem, this could turn into one of your favorite salads and desserts for any occasions and events. Preparation is easy and the recipe can be easily tweaked to add more of your favorite "white" ingredients. 

Here's an easy recipe for White Salad
Ingredients
  • 3 cups buko/young coconut meat, shredded or sliced in to small squares
  • 2 cups (canned) lychees, halved (reserve the juice)
  • 1 cup white nata de coco 
  • 2 cups white gelatin
  • 1 and 1/2 cups cream
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 cup evaporated milk, optional
  • Buko juice, optional

How to make White Salad

  1. Prepare gelatin according to package instructions. Use lychee and buko juice instead of water. Lessen the amount of liquid to make a "harder"  gelatin
  2. Mix buko meat, nata de coco, lychee and gelatin
  3. In a bowl, mix cream and condensed milk plus evaporated mix. Just create a mixture that suits your taste - you don't have to use all the amount.
  4. Fold in the cream mixture in the bowl of fruits and gelatin.
  5. Serve chilled. 
The measurements are just guides since making this salad doesn't require exact amounts. Just make use of what you have and most importantly taste what you are making from time to time so you can adjust the taste. I also love serving this white salad frozen. 




Also try SAGO & FRUITS SALAD 😋

Next time I might include white sago and will try almond-flavored gelatin. In the meantime, just enjoy this simple and delicious dessert recipe.

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
