So Vegetarian is almost an unheard of word in the Philippines, but while in college I still wanted the Filipino tastes while trying to be vegetarian. Since all of the recipes I know had meat (even the veggies are cooked in pork) I had to come up with some of my own. This is one of those. Tofu sinigang apparently isn't unheard of in the Philippines but this recipe came out of trial and error. The soup is pretty sour cooked to quot;full strengthquot; but can make a pretty nice fast meal with rice.
You'll never eat frozen fish sticks again once you dig into crispy, flaky haddock that can fit into a healthy eating plan. And our "chips"? Zestier than ordinary french fries.
This Grilled Shrimp and Chorizo Skewers with Piquillo Gazpacho recipe contains shrimp, Extra-virgin olive oil, tomatoes, crusty bread, roasted red peppers and more.
This rich and creamy potato soup is subtly flavored with celery and green onions. It's the kind of soup you'll want to savor slowly...even though it's ready in just 35 minutes.
This Beef Sirloin Steak with Baby Spinach recipe contains steak, campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup, olive oil, onion, fresh baby spinach and more.
I love this soup. I like to have the vegetables cut medium it makes is hardier. But if you prefer smooth you can always chop smaller or puree. I also omit the bay leaf because I don't like bay leaf. I also use a ham hock from left over Easter or Christmas dinner.
Throw together the fixin's in the morning and enjoy a steak-and-peppers main simmering in a tomato-based sauce for dinner. Melty Swiss cheese is the clincher.
This was my winning entry in the Annual Power Facts Recipe Contest sponsored by Alabama Power. I think it was in 2004. Warning: it's loaded with fat, calories and TASTE!!
