Burong Baboy (Preserved Salted Pork)

Burong Baboy…………… I remember when I live before in our province in pangasinan (back in early 90’s) Everytime my uncle buy some pork meats in butcheries, He always seasoned the meat with lots of salt. Keep it on an ice box as we don’t have any refrigerator to keep our meat frozen. Once the pork seasoned with salt, it will last for a week. Usually we just fried it or mix up with some fresh saute vegetables or pinakbet dishes. It is also a favourite dish by my wife’s grand mother……………………Did you know that pork often gets a bad reputation because of its unhealthy benefits such as rising of hi-blood pressure and heart related diseases. But when it comes to minerals, pork nutrition facts are packed with them all. Phosphorus, potassium, selenium and zinc are found in large numbers in one serving of pork meat. as an addition pork is also a good source of calcium, iron, magnesium and manganese….Well I guess, to summarize up, every thing or food intake which is too much, might be dangerous to our health. Do you agree?

Ingredients: Serves 4-6 persons

• 1 kilo or 6 pcs pork shoulder cut
• oil for frying
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp ground pepper

Coriander Salad:

• 2 pcs tomatoes quartered

• 1 bunch of coriander sliced
• 2 tbp fish sauce
• 5 pcs chopped chillies optional

Procedures:

• In a frying pan, heat oil and fry pork until brown.
• Enjoy and serve hot!!

Pork and Sausage Jambalaya

Jambalaya……….Traditionally, jambalaya is made in tree parts, first is meat, second is its vegetables and third is the rice and the stock. It is very similar to paella as it is also composed of meat stocks such as chicken, beef or seafood, or even pork if you prefer. This dish is very common in buffet eat all you can, because you can be half full by eating this alone. But not all kinds of rice grains can be cooked this way, I suggest you to have a basmati or just a long grain rice will do. I normally use long grain rice, which produces a fluffier rice. If you are following a recipe that calls for long grain rice, and need to use medium or short grain rice instead, remember that rice grains have different absorption rates and adjust the amount of water accordingly. (In this case you would reduce the amount of water by 1/4 to 1/2 cup per cup of rice)………….Did you know that rice provides fast energy and is also readily digested. It is good for bowel health, is an important source of vitamin B1 and encourages stable blood sugar levels. We Filipinos, usually always have a rice on our diet…………..

Ingredients: serves 4-6 persons

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cups long grain rice
• 3 cups chicken stocks
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 medium chopped onions
• 2 pcs sausages sliced
• 200 grams pork meat cut in small cubes
• 1/2 cup red and green bell pepper
• 1 cup mixed vegetables(corn,carrots and peas)
• 1 pc fresh tomatoes quartered
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped celery

Procedures:

• In a pan, heat oil and saute pork until brown, allowing the flavour to come out. then saute garlic and onion on the same pan. add in sausages and the rest of the ingredients. this will serve as our jambalaya mixture.
• To make it easier, in a rice cooker, pour in chicken stocks and rice and stir in jambalaya mixture. stir well and cook the normal way as you cook your steamed rice..
• Serve hot!

I remember when I was a little kid, I used to help my mom frying dishes such as this, its my stepping stone to the world of culinary.

There is an old saying, when you fry meat you have to be quite otherwise the oil will continue spilling. Believe it or not?……………Did you know that pork is the other “white meat”? It has a less fat than chicken breast. What makes pork tasty is its fat, which makes ham and bacon really popular. No reason to fear fat, just take a considerable amount of pork fat in your diet to get rid away of its so-called “heart related disease” that can rise to high blood pressure or other related diseases. We all know “all excessive intake of food is bad to our health”…………
