Rellenong manok or chicken relleno is a fantastic choice of dish to serve on Christmas Eve. It's inexpensive, impressive and very tasty. It truly is inexpensive if you prepare it yourself at home. It involves very simple ingredients which can be easily found in the market or groceries.

Pepper - ½ tsp, freshly ground
Bread - 3 pieces, day-old, cut in small pieces, soaked in milk (2tbsp)

For the stuffing, simply mix the bread, onion, beaten egg, chorizo de bilbao, ground pork or chicken, pickle relish and onion leaves. Season with salt and pepper.
Take the whole chicken from the refrigerator. Lay flat on a large plate with its breast part up. Fold the skin in the neck and tuck it under. Scoop half of the stuffing to the chicken's cavity. Arrange the boiled eggs in a row in the cavity's middle part. Scoop the rest of the stuff in. Pull the tail end's skin. Expose as little stuffing as you can.

Filipino Recipes - Pork Tortillas With Pineapple Sauce

In terms of globally recognized food culture, the Philippines is relatively unknown - sadly, because the country surely has an awful lot of great recipes to discover. Though it lacks a recognizably unique character, Pinoy food is remarkably diverse - much like the country's origins.

This diverse cuisine is drawn from a estimate of sources - most notably Chinese and Mexican, but also from Japanese, American, Indian and Arabic nations. Filipino food is ordinarily referred to as a "fusion".

Meat Casseroles

Today I'd like to introduce you to a meat dish, similar to Mexican tortillas but with a Pineapple based sauce.

Ingredients:

For the tortillas:
1 lb of minced pork meat 5 oz of shrimp (the smallest kind) 1.7 oz of water chestnuts 1 tbsp of salt 1 tbsp of pepper 10 flour tortillas (used instead of egg roll wrapper in case you don't have any) 10 toothpicks 4 cups of oil

For the pineapple sauce:
1 1/2 cups of pineapple juice A pinch of salt A pinch of black pepper 2 cups of ketchup

Cooking instructions:

Cut the shrimp well, mincing them if possible. Peel and cut the water chestnuts. Then mix these all together with the Pork mince.

Before filling the tortillas, I advise you start to make the pineapple sauce. In a small pan, start simmering the pineapple juice. Add in the ketchup, and enough vinegar to give it a light consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Let this thicken a little while you continue with the tortillas.

Next, fill the flour tortillas with the meat, shrimp and chestnut mix; then roll them into thin wraps. Fry these in very hot oil and drain them.

Pour the pineapple and ketchup sauce on the wraps and serve immediately.

This is in itself a very filling dish, but I usually serve with a traditional Filipino salad.

Filipino Recipes - Shrimp Meat Tortilla (Omelet) Recipe - Pinoy Food

The good thing about tortillas is the fact that you can use almost anything to whip into a wonderful recipe. For this post, I combine pork and shrimps (two of my favorites) into a yummy Shrimp Meat Tortilla good for young and old folks alike. I say so, because from my Grandma down to my little 2-year old boy, this all-around recipe can be served any day. I prefer to serve this during breakfast to break the monotony of cooking plain eggs. With meat and shrimps in the mix, you can tease the taste buds of the people you love. An ordinary breakfast can be turned into something full of smiles and praises whenever I place this dish on the table.

There are still many versions of tortilla that you can prepare out of mixed meats but I always find this recipe as the best meat combination. You can trust me on this!

Line a plate with another banana leaf and turn the tortilla upside down. Put it back in the pan to brown the other side. Serve hot.

Filipino Recipes - Dinuguan (Pork Blood Stew) Recipe - Pinoy Food

Dinuguan or pork blood stew is one of the most common dishes that you can find on the table during special occasions most particularly during fiestas. It is a flavorful stew made of pork meat and blood, made even more delicious with the addition of vinegar, spices and chili. The name dinuguan was derived from the root word "dugo" which means blood. When cooked, the dish appears chocolate brown. That's the reason why some foreigners call it "chocolate meat" or "chocolate soup" even if there's no trace of chocolate added to it. It is usually served with plain white rice or puto (rice cake).

Ingredients:

Meat Casseroles

1 head of garlic (crushed and minced) 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger (minced) 3 onions (halved and sliced thinly) 3 chili peppers (siling haba) 1 bay leaf 1 tbsp. cooking oil 4 cups pig's blood 350 grams pork liver 1 kilo pork belly (cut into small cubes) 1 pouch of sinigang mix good for 1 liter of broth pepper (optional) salt

Cooking Procedure:

Place a heavy casserole over high heat and put the oil when the casserole is already hot. Sauté the garlic and ginger. Add the small cubes of pork meat and cook until the edges of the meat begin to turn brown. Add the sinigang mix, bay leaf, chili peppers, and onions. Go on cooking until the onions are somewhat transparent. Add salt and pepper for seasoning if desired. Add a little amount of water just enough to cover the meat. Lower the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Cover the casserole and cook until the pork is tender, usually takes about 30-45 minutes. You can pour in a little amount of water at a time if the cooking liquid dries up before the pork is thoroughly cooked. Meanwhile, prepare the liver by chopping into small cubes. There may be solid masses in the pork blood, so you have to mash them to a pulp using your hands. Add the liquid and mashed blood into the casserole. Adjust the heat to medium-low and bring to a boil. Keep on stirring for about 5 minutes to mix ingredients thoroughly. Pour the minced liver and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Serve with steamed rice and puto.
