Oven-Grilled American Ribs Recipe

My hubby has been craving for the liempo-sisig we buy in Perpy’s, Pilar, Las Pinas. We have not visited my mom for some time now thus no chance of satisfying his craving.

When we went to the grocery, he bought a large chunk of American ribs, visualizing they will be his crispy liempo-sisig. It was a huge success. For this post though, I will just share with you how we oven-grilled the American ribs which we later on transformed into a sisig.

Tinolang Tahong Recipe

I have been craving for this dish for a very long time already and today, that craving was finally satisfied! Mahirap kasi bumili ng tahong, either may red tide, or dapat pag bumili ka, lutuin na agad, which most of the time is not doable in my case. Sobrang na miss ko kumain nito that I ended up sipping all the soup by myself!

What you will need
1/2kg tahong, cleaned
1 medium onion, julienned
3 cloves garlic, minced
1pc thumb-sized ginger, julienned
1-2 cups water
salt and pepper to taste
oil for sautéing

What to do

Heat a casserole/wok with oil. Sauté onion then garlic. When they are already soft, add the ginger and tahong. Cook for about a minute, then add water little by little, depending on how much soup you like. Cover and let it boil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Spaghetti in Malunggay Pesto Sauce with Tuna

This is the second way I used the Malunggay Pesto sauce I made.

Spaghetti in Malunggay Pesto Sauce with Tuna

What you’ll need:

  • 1/8kg Spaghetti cooked al dente
  • 1-2 cups Malunggay Pesto sauce
  • 1 can Hot and Spicy Century Tuna
  • 3tbs Grated Parmesan Cheese

The procedure:

While your cooked pasta still still hot, pour it in a bowl then add the Malunggay Pesto sauce until all strands are covered with the sauce. Add the tuna, do not throw the oil of the tuna yet. If you want, you can make the tuna slices smaller. Add the cheese and mix well. If your pasta looks dry like the above because of the Parmesan cheese, add more oil from the can of tuna. Serve with crackers or toasted bread.
