I remember months ago I wanted to cook something different for my sister for her lunch at school. She somehow grew tired of the common pambaon dishes like adobo, fried chicken and corned beef. So I scouted our cupboard, refrigerator and freezer for some available ingredients.
I came up with this.
I really tried my best to make it appetizing. Maybe you can do better using below ingredients (I'm trying to recall them as I write):
What you need:
- ¾ cup menudo cut pork
- 3 tbsp minced red onion
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp minced red bell pepper
- ¼ cup sliced bacon
- ½ cup mango puree
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup button mushroom
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 medium-size potatoes
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh milk
- Salt and pepper
Here’s how:
Mashed potato
- Wash and peel potatoes. Boil in water until thoroughly soft.
- Mash the potato well in a large bowl. Make sure to avoid lumps.
- Add butter and milk, then season with salt. Mix thoroughly. Set aside
Mango puree sauce
- Bring mango puree to a light boil over low fire.
- Add lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 2 minutes.
- You may also opt to add sugar to make it sweeter.
For the protein
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium fire. Add onion and cook until it turns translucent.
- Add pork, sauté for a minute then add bacon. Continue stirring until pork turns light brown. Add red bell pepper, season with salt and pepper. Cook for another two minutes.
- To do the garnish, heat the remaining oil in a pan over low fire. Brown mushroom. Add cabbage and cook for not more than a minute. Remove from fire.
To plate
- Using a molder, place the mashed potato on one side of the plate.
- Carefully arrange on top the sautéed meat then pour about 2-3 tbsp of the puree (You may add more to fit your liking).
- On the other side, place the mixed veggies.
Please let me know what you think of this dish. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
