I have been wanting to eat Ginataang Munggo for the past few
days because of the cold weather. I haven’t eaten this for quite some time, and
when I say quite some time, that was eons ago. If I remember it right the last
time was on 2006 when we were still in Quezon Province. Hahaha. 10 years, man!
So, let me share you my humble Ginataang Munggo recipe.
What
you Need:
-
Half a cup of Munggo ** I used the green ones, but I guess the
sweet (black) one is better
-
1 Cup of Malagkit, washed (sticky rice)
-
4 cups of Coconut milk
-
Sugar to taste
-
Latik (for toppings)
Now,
let’s start cooking.
-
Heat the pan and toast the (Munggo) beans until brown,
do not burn the beans!
-
Turn off heat, transfer the beans to a bowl and
let it cool down
-
Using a mortar and pestle, slightly break and
crack the beans – don’t over do it, you doesn’t want to have a powdery munggo ,
then set aside.
-
Heat the cooking pot and pour in the coconut milk, bring to boil.
-
Add the malagkit rice, stir .Let it sit for
atleast 10mins, then add in the Munggo Beans.
-
Cook in low heat for atleast 20mins or until the
rice are completely cooked and the coconut milk has been properly absorbed.
-
Stir occasionally.
-
Add sugar to taste. You can also add half a cup
of evaporated milk if you wish.
-
Turn off heat and Serve!
-
You may add the latik on top
This is one of my favorite meryenda/snack when I was a kid, ansabe ng Risotto ng Italya? Hahaha. Try it and bring back your childhood through
this yummy ginataang munggo J
Tara, let’s eat!
