VICTORIAS FOODS RECIPE : Bangus Bruschetta

I can still vividly remember how deliciously satisfying at the same time visually appealing our food tasting session with Victorias Foods Corporation last March.


Created for its "A Taste of Negros" campaign, we savored three deliciously concocted recipes made with the VFC best-sellers - Hot Sardines in Soya Oil and Spanish-style Bangus, as well as the specialties of Punot Restaurant.

Among the stand-outs was Bangus Bruschetta which was the ultimate visual delight. Beautifully plated, every angle comes out with the dish as photogenic as it can be.

It consisted of toasted bread and topped with tomatoes and VFC Bangus in Soya Oil. A perfect fusion of international and local ways of cooking and ingredients.


Chef Tope Arañador, the young and contemporary Ilonggo chef/owner of PUNOT Restaurant has partnered with Victorias Foods Corporation in creating special recipes.

With this collab, VFC and Chef Tope has created 15 recipes using Victorias Foods signature products and best-sellers.



And here's how Chef Tope created this gastronomic masterpiece using Victorias Spanish-style Bangus in Soya Oil.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans Victorias Hot Bangus in Soya Oil, drained
  • 1 Tbsp Soya oil (from above)
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon juice, adjust if needed
  • 1 pinch Paprika, sweet smoked
  • 4 pcs Pimiento (from a jar/can), drained
  • 1/2 tsp freshly-cracked Pepper
  • 1 tsp chopped Parsley
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Slices of baguette or any bread, freshly toasted

Procedure

  1. Place Victorias Hot Bangus in a bowl. You may remove the fishbones if necessary but it's edible.
  2. Add pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, soya oil, garlic, paprika and parsley. Mix or toss very well but carefully do it to keep the bangus intact.
  3. To serve, brush some olive oil or Bangus oil on top of the baguette/toast then place pimiento slices on top of baguette then placed the seasoned Bangus on top.
  4. You may add some more bangus oil and sprinkle some more paprika on top.

Enjoy this delectable savory hors d'oeuvres the way you want it - whenever, wherever.

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. Here's a recipe guide for a simple Pochero Ilonggo
