Ginataang Sitaw, Kalabasa at Ampalaya

Masarap at masustansya at lalong pinasarap pa ng lasa ng gata. Niluto ko ito dahil may tira-tirang buto ng lechong manok, sayang naman kung hindi mapapakinabangan.

Mga sangkap
 manok para pangsahog ( pwedeng fresh or leftover from lechon)
1/2 kilo kalabasa
2 tali sitaw
3 cups gata ng niyog
2 piraso ampalaya
1 kutsarang hiniwa na luya
1 sibuyas
asin

Paraan ng pagluluto:
1.Ilagay sa caldero ang 2 cups ng ngata, luya, sibuyas, manok at pakuluin, kapag kumulo na ay ilagay ang kalabasa at sitaw, pakuluan hanggang maging half cooked.
2. Ilagay ang ampalaya at pakuluan hanggang maging half cooked, ilagay ang natitirang gata, saka timplahan, pakuluin ng isang beses saka patayin ang apoy.
3. Ihain habang mainit pa na may kasamang kanin.

Paalala: Siguraduhing malakas ang apoy habang niluluto ang mga gulay para manatiling matingkad ang kulay.

Mely's Kitchen Pork Adobo

A saucy adobo that goes well with all types of rice, just a little of it, is flavorful enough for a plate of rice, so make sure rice is enough for everyone.

Ingredients for 8 servings:
1 kilo pork ( any part of your choice)
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup calamansi or lemon juice
3/4 cup vinegar
1/4 teaspoon crushed black pepper
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup water


Procedure:
1. Slice the pork to your desired size, then marinate it with 1/4 cup soy sauce, lemon juice and black pepper.
2. Fry the pork until brownish then set aside.
3. Saute the garlic then add the fried pork, vinegar and the rest of the soy sauce, then simmer until the fried pork absorbed the flavors and color.
4. Add the water and allow to simmer until water evaporates, making the adobo almost dry but still saucy.
5. Serve it hot with rice.
