Hallow fellas!
I've been following some threads dito sa Pitstop Cafe at discussions dun sa shoutbox and it is very clear na marami sa atin na mahilig kumain. So, I'm assuming that a lot of us who love to eat eh also know how to cook, or at least know their way around the kitchen. So, I thought na "Hmm...why not start a thread about sharing cooking tips and recipes?"
So, kung mahilig kayong magluto, have some nice recipes under your chef's hat or kung mahilig lang kayo mag stay around the kitchen, you can share your recipes and tips here. Honesty system tayo dito ha so let's not claim a recipe na tayo ang nag-invent pero hinde naman pala.![]()
You can share unique recipes and cooking styles/tips you found on the Internet as well.
O sya, start na tayo! I'll go first. Simple lang share ko today - something I like to eat during Sunday breakfast: Spanish omelet, pandesal with kesong puti and a poor man's Cappucino using instant coffe and ordinary creamer.
Spanish Omelet:
This is cooked just like an ordinary omelet but instead of using broiler eggs, I use either duck eggs, eggs ng native manok or quail eggs. Also, ordinary omelet usually only has potatoes and onions. The omelete I make usually has French beans, bacon, green bell pepper, tomatoes and potatoes
Ingredients: 2 eggs (4-6 if I use quail eggs), 1/2 onion (red), 2 medium siced potatoes, 1 large tomato 1/2 cup of French Beans (or any other beans) and 1/2 cup of bacon, a pinch of either skimmed milk or baking powder, salt and olive oil
- Peel the potatoes and slice them as thinly as possible. Salt the potatoes and mix em up so that the potatoes are evenly salted.
- Chop the onions, slice the bell pepper and slice the tomatoes using a sharp knife (para hinde mapisak). Set the tomato and pepper aside.
- Chop the bacon into small squarish shapes. Set aside.
- Get your frying pan and put in 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Heat the pan. When the pan is hot enough, throw in the chopped bacon.
- Once the bacon is threatening to go brown, add in the sliced potatoes and onions. Stir/mix well until the potatoes start to brown just a little bit then lower the heat. Once cooked, remove them from the pan, drain the oil and let the mixture cool a bit.
- Get a bowl, crack the eggs. Stir/beat the eggs. Put in the tomatoes and beans. Mix a bit then put in your bacon and potatoes. Add salt and/or pepper to taste.
- Heat up the pan again and put in 1-1.5 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the mixture. Turn down the heat to the lowest setting and cook for about 10-15 minutes.
- Once there is no visible liquid on top, flip the omelet over to cook he other side. If you don't know how to flip an omelet using the pan or a spatula, use a plate: put a plate on top of the pan, turn it upside down and put the omelet back in. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes.
- Put a dish or plate and sprinkle in some oregano for added flavor.
Pandesal with Kesong Puti.
You need the native kesong puti for this one, not the cottage cheese that one can buy from the super market. And oh, you need some pesto for this one. Simple lang to.
- Heat up your non-stick pan and add just a pinch of olive oil if you like pero ako, diretso yung kesong puti sa pan.
- Once the pan is hot enough, dump in the kesong puti. Keep turning until each side of the keso is somewhat brown. Wag nyong patagalin sa pan kase matutunaw yung keso. Set aside once cooked.
- Get your favorite pandesal and heat it up a bit. Slice it open, put in your kesong puti.
- Add pesto to taste.
Poor Man's Cappucino:
Eto interesting, he he. Gawa tayo parang cappucino using instant coffee, creamer and muscovado.
- Put in your usual mix of coffee and creamer into your coffee-stained cup.
- Add in just a little bit of hot (just boiled) water to the cup: approx 1 tablespoon.
- Stir fast until the mixture is syrupy. Add in the muscovado. Stir again until the mixture is real syrupy.
- Immediately pour in hot water.
- If you did this just right, you would see a froth on top of your coffee. Not a real big one but just enough for you to say "Hey! This does look like cappucino."
o, kayo naman!![]()
