Chicken in Curried Sauce

I was at Lee Plaza today and saw that they are having a sale on so many items as high as 50% off. I went directly to the kitchen section and saw Sunex knives with 50% off. I hurriedly bought 1 paring knife and this motivates me to cook something up today just so I could use it.

So, here goes:

4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 kilo chicken, cut into serving pieces
1/4 cup raisins
1 pouch (200 g) tomato sauce
1/4 kilo potatoes, cut into chunks
100g baguio beans, sliced diagonally

1. Saute garlic, onion, curry powder and chicken. Add raisins, tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water. Cook for 20 minutes. Add potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes.
2. Add baguio beans, 3/4 tsp iodized salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Continue simmering until vegetables are cooked.

Makes 6 servings.

Enjoy!

Tuna Pinakbet

This is a very chaotic week. So many things happened.
It started with an earthquake and ended with a very inspiring Educators Day.
After all this, I decided to prepare something with varied flavors especially after I bought bagoong from Stanley. They have simply the best bagoong in the entire Dumaguete :))

So, here goes:
2- 185g cans tuna chunks in oil
2 tbsps oil
2 tsps ginger, crushed
1 tsp garlic, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup bagoong
2 cups squash, cubed
3 medium eggplant, cut-up
8 pcs okra, sliced
1 medium ampalaya, sliced

Fry tuna in its oil until crisp about 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside. In the same pan, saute ginger, garlic, onions and tomatoes. Stir in bagoong and cook for 5 minutes. Add squash, eggplant, okra and ampalaya. Cover and let cook for 3 to 5 minutes in medium fire. Top with crispy tuna before serving.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

Enjoy!!

Spicy Tomato and Cream Pasta

I had a very long weekend after a very tiresome week but I am not in the mood to cook so I am not really prepared for this recipe. Actually, I was planning to cook something else but since the girl in the grocery store refused to sell 100g ground pork I just grab a recipe from the counter and ended up with this.
So, here goes (although I added some twist to it):

175g spaghetti, cooked
1 200g pouch Spicy tomato and cream pasta sauce
1 185g can tuna chunks in oil, drained (reserve oil)
2 tbsp grated cheese

Saute tuna using its oil for 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. Add the pasta sauce. Simmer for 3 minutes. Pour on top of the cooked spaghetti.

Enjoy!
