Filipino Recipes – Binagol (Dessert) Recipe – Pinoy Food

Binagol, also called binangol, is a sweet delicacy originating from Leyte, an island in the Visayas. There are several versions of this recipe, some uses chocolate flavors and some with nuts and butter. This recipe is the simpler version, though.

The Taro root mixture is contained in polished coconut shells, thus the name binagol from the root word “bagol”, a visayan term which literally means coconut shells. Because of the abundance of coconut trees in this tropical country, you will surely find many kinds of delicacies using coconuts as packaging. Cooking this recipe may be a tedious process but the finished product is worth the effort.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rich coconut milk (from 2 medium coconuts)
  • ¾ cups raw gabi or Taro root (shredded)
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ can full cream condensed milk
  • 4 egg yolks
  • wilted banana leaves
  • 4 medium coconut shells (cleaned)
  • string for tying

Filipino Recipes – Champorado (Dessert) Recipe – Pinoy Food

Champorado or chocolate-flavored rice porridge is a favorite breakfast among Filipinos, especially for families with kids. I haven’t met a child who don’t like chocolates and that explains why champorado is very famous in almost all households in the country.

I remember passing a can of evaporated milk around the table way back when I was a little girl. And my sisters and I would try to beat each other out with the designs we make using the milk on top of our bowls of hot champorado. Papa and Mama would judge our designs and we would all be declared winners in our own right. How carefree life was back then.

Going back to cooking, there are several champorado mixes available in the market today where you only have to pour hot water and leave it to cook for five minutes or so and your breakfast is ready. But for me nothing beats this special champorado recipe made even richer with the addition of coconut milk. And in my experience, coconut milk has never failed me in the numerous recipes that I’ve tried. Go ahead and taste the difference.

Filipino Recipes – Kilawin (Pork Liver) Recipe – Pinoy Food

Kilawin is always mistaken for raw fish cooked using vinegar only. That is a common misconception. For those people who need to know the difference, raw fish in vinegar is kinilaw while pork and liver cooked using vinegar is kilawin. Kilawin is a dish that originates from Pampanga, one of the provinces in Luzon.

Kilawin is not only good for ordinary meals but it is also highly favored during sessions of beer drinking. The tangy taste is a perfect beer match and my male cousins say it helps keep drunkenness away. But of course, they just say it to tease me and it is their way of sweet-talking me into preparing the recipe for them. Continue reading “Filipino Recipes – Kilawin (Pork Liver) Recipe – Pinoy Food”

Filipino Recipes – Fish Sarciado Recipe – Pinoy Food

Most of the time, leftover fried fish will no longer taste good when taken a day after it is cooked. But I don’t like to throw away food, especially when I think of the multitude of people around the world who have nothing to eat. (Bless my little heart.) So almost always, I end up cooking sarciado the next day so the fried fish will still become inviting.

But this recipe is not exclusive for leftover fish only. You can even have newly fried fish to add more flavor to an ordinary dish. The word sarciado simply means cooking or braising with sautéed tomatoes. And here’s a tip that I want to share: use tomatoes which are very ripe. And you can also speed up your cooking by mashing the tomatoes being cooked in oil.
