![]() ![]() Pinakbet is one of the many healthy Filipino vegetable recipes. A classic savory vegetable dish with a Filipino touch. Known for its savory taste, the dish is stewed with broth and shrimp paste to give it more depth, make it more appealing, and make it more fragrant. ![]() This vegetable stew is packed with a mix of greens found in abundance all over the country, but don't worry, you should be able to find all of the ingredients in most stores in the United States (or in local grocery stores anywhere outside of the Philippines). Will definitely make again.The word pinakbet is derived from the Ilocano term meaning ‘shrunk' or “shriveled” and refers to a dish that originated in the northern part of the Philippines. I'm following the South Beach Diet and am always on the lookout recipes that fit the plan. I made this for them to eat but all of us loved it. My daughter and grandson are vegeterians. I substituted cucumber for the zucchini because they are fairly similiar in shape and color and I am apparently fairly illiterate. Had the skeptical friend asking if he could take an extra serving home with him! Well, I am an amateur cook at best, but I was able to make this recipe taste wonderful on the first try. ![]() I will make it again when I am in the mood for a healthy vegetarian meal. This was very good and had more flavor than I expected. i would definitely make this again, good vegetables and flavor. This was very good, but much more like ratatouille than stew. My husband made a face on the first bite, so this is NOT a repeat. It lacked a bit in flavor perhaps a bit of spice would have made it more interesting. And it's a good way to sneak okra into folks' diets.) It's great with grilled lamb or chicken-make it ahead and serve it reheated or at room temperature. (Play "guess the secret ingredient." NO ONE will guess it's an apple. The okra and apple make it milder and sweeter than regular ratatouille. If you like ratatouille, you'll love gouvej. But the apple doesn't make up for the fact that the dish really doesn't have any herbs, spices or interesting flavors. It was good as a side dish to tonight's dinner. I added some cumin and let it sit for a day. After I finished, it was completely bland - a ratatouille but not as good. I am always looking for good vegetable recipes. Didn't miss any seasonings - salt, pepper, lemon and parsley are more than adequate for this. I had to leave out the okra, but 3 generations of our all-American extended family enjoyed seconds of this last night at dinner, even my small-appetite mother. I cut both zucchini and japanese eggplant into rounds so they would hold together nicely, cutting the underdone pieces in half only near the end of cooking. This has now become one of our standard vegetable side dishes! Love the sweetness the apple adds, and using a combination of one green and one yellow bell pepper added even more complexity. Will definitely make again in the future. Like others, the veggies didn't need the full 40 minutes to soften - I think I had them on for ~25 minutes. Turned out quite nice - tangy but sweet with the pumpkin & apple. I substituted fresh okra for the frozen, mini Japanese eggplants, and, as I couldn't find zucchini at the market, I chopped up some fresh pumpkin. I made this dish as I was looking for a new way to cook okra. A good basis for a stew, but definitely something that needs family-by-famiy tweaking for taste. It definitely was better on the second day, but overall, it was rather forgettable. used lots of red pepper and some cumin to give it some kick. I used frozen peas instead of okra, and at least tripled the spices. Flavors definitely 'mature' and deepen on the second day. It makes up a hearty and satisfying side or main (with rice or couscous) either cold or warm. This is an exceptional and unusual blend of flavors. It's not bad, it's just that epi has better recipes. But for a dish with okra, the sliminess was rather minimal. Not knowing what to make with the organic eggplant and okra (not normal purchases of mine), I tried this stew and found it delicious! I served it over quinoa and both my husband and I enjoyed this meatless and healthy main dish.Ģ.5.mega blah.added tons of cumin, coriander, salt and pepper and still it was bland. I spiced mine up with 3 hot red peppers and red pepper flakes (to taste), used artichoke hearts in place of okra, and added 1 can of garbanzo beans. ![]()
