Hot and Spicy Tuna with Parsley

Experiment time! I’ve tried a similar recipe with mushroom on it but I’m not a mushroom fanatic (if you’ve seen the last recipe I’ve made) so I decided to experiment.
Here goes:

1 big can of tuna flakes in oil, drained, reserve oil
1 cup parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
Cayenne, Spanish paprika and black pepper for seasoning

1. Saute garlic on the tuna’s oil until golden brown.
2. Add tuna and cook for 1 minute.
3. Season tuna using cayenne, Spanish paprika and black pepper according to taste.
4. Add parsley and cook for a few seconds.

Enjoy! :)

Chicken Tanglad Soup

Of all the recipes’ I tried, I guess this is something that I’ll be cooking again and again. I got this recipe from a milk can and I must say it is really delicious.

Here goes:
1 piece lemongrass stalk, crushed
1 tbsp sliced ginger
7 cups water

450g chicken breast
1 pc small carrot, peeled and cut diagonally
1 pc small sayote, peeled and cut diagonally
¾ cup evaporated milk
3 pieces pechay, cut into 2 inch lengths
Patis to taste

1. In a pot combine the first 6 ingredients. Cook until the chicken and vegetables are done.
2. Add the milk and pechay. Season with patis to taste. Serve hot.

Serves 6-8
Note: In the original recipe there is 2 cups dried mushrooms soaked in water. I forego this one after I touched the soggy mushrooms. It’s so yucky! Sorry! : P

Cheese and Mac

I've been watching this TV ad about Cheese Magic so I decided to experiment on it. Here goes:

1 pouch Cheese Magic
200g salad macaroni
1/4 cup fresh milk
1/4 cut butter

1. Cook salad macaroni according to its instructions.
2. Melt butter then add the cooked ham. Cook for 1 minute then add the salad macaroni, Cheese Magic and fresh milk.
3. Cook for two more minutes.

Enjoy! :)

Hot and Spicy Chicken Liver

Since I'm going back to my MA class this summer, I need to wake up really early to cook for myself and mother. I tried this recipe so many years ago but didn't like it since it was sweet. This time I did it using cayenne and it suits my taste bud really well.

Here goes:

1 clove garlic, crushed
2 medium onions, sliced
1/2 kg chicken liver, cleaned
200 g tomato sauce
1/4 kg potato, cubed

1. Saute garlic, onions and chicken liver.
2. Add tomato sauce, potato, 1 1/2 cup water, 1 tsp iodized salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Simmer for 8 minutes.
3. Season with cayenne pepper according to your taste.

Serves 6.

Grilled Chicken Adobo

I can't get over my new grill pan so I looked for another recipe that needs grilling. I found just the right recipe but I added a twist to it since the sourness is too much.

5 pcs chicken breast
6 tbsp vinegar
4 tbsp soy sauce
1 bay leaf
1/2 tbsp peppercorns
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp sugar

1. Marinate the chicken in a mixture of the remaining ingredients, except sugar, for at least two hours.
2. Drain the chicken. Heat a grill-pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken until completely done. Remove the chicken from the pan.
3. Using the same pan, cook the marinade adding 1/2 cup water and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes. If you want a slightly thick sauce, add some cornstarch.
4. Return the chicken into pan and cook for 2 minutes.

Makes 4 to 5 servings.

Enjoy! :)
