Pinakbet :-)

It's lunch time, friends.
Let's have  Pinakbet  ("Pakbet") for lunch!
Goody, this is one of my simple 'lutong-bahay' favorites. 


Vegetables are always a healthy idea in cooking so I prepared  Pinakbet  for lunch.
Pinakbet is cooked with pork belly sauteed in garlic & onions, vegetables like squash, okra, eggplant, string beans, & ampalaya (bitter melon), and sauced with shrimp paste.
In cooking Pinakbet, I prefer not to add salt anymore because the shrimp paste is already there to add flavor.

HERBERT said…
aww shucks. you made me crave for pinakbet
Gilda said…
We just had it yesterday actually. Yum! ^_^ I have always hated ampalaya until recently. Probably my taste glands have upgraded, or perhaps grown old with time that it can now stand its bitterness. Whatever the explanation, I know I now love pinakbet!
