Description:
This dish is a favorite of my daughters, Anne and Jade, and so we usually have this dish on some leisure Sundays. Then I partner this dish with Grilled Pork Chop (Inihaw)----and I can assure you - it is a super combination!
Unfortunately, my Rick is not fond of mussels - so I have not done this as much as I did back in the Philippines.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 k. unshelled mussels
1 pc ginger, chopped very finely
1/2 tsp chopped garlic
1 large tomato - chopped
1 can of coconut milk (or freshly squeezed from a coconut)
Malunggay leaves - or - Sili Leaves (frozen if buying here)
.
Directions:
1. Scrub the mussels well - and clean enough to remove any
dirt or unwanted part which would sometimes hang out of
their shells
(in the U.S. - mussels can be bought in frozen boxes)
2. Saute garlic, onion, tomatoes and ginger.
3. Add the mussels
4. Add salt and mix in the coconut milk.
5. Add 1/2 cup water and let boil.
6. Lastly, add the malunggay leaves or sili leaves
try ko nga ito.. hmn...
ReplyDeleteOur ultimate, ultimate, favorite!
ReplyDeleteKulang ang isang kilo sa amin ni Yani!!!
Yum, yum yum!!!! Lalo na pag nagmantika na the gata!!!
I saw the frozen box mussels in the commisary lately only, and my niece cook it once for us and it's ok masarap naman.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I like the frozen ones---no need to scrub and clean! And besides sa atin, the shells are heavy so your 1-1/2 kilo---without the shells---it leaves so little tahong left. Try mo rin adobong tahong---I cooked that once too, Angie, and it was also god!
ReplyDeleteSana meron din dito sa PI na ganyang malinis na...
ReplyDeleteDiba mas better if fresh siya?
ReplyDeleteYep, bagay talaga na pang turon yun. :o)
ReplyDeleteWala kasing matiyagang maglinis dito ng mussels eh... Kaya okay na subukan namin ang frozen ala U.S. style, hahaha!
ReplyDeleteLita, in case you don't know, kaluluto ko lang ng mussels, of course mas gusto kong ginataang tahong, kaya lang wala ako lahat nito, wala akong gata, leaves ng sili or malunggay..kelangan talaga ay sadyain kong lutuin ito, ipiprint ko na nga para madala ko ang recipe pag namalengke ako..andoon lang nakatabi sa folder ko.
