Torta Torta Torta ala munggo

I was that day old when I learned that there is also a Torta Monggo!!! 😅

We tried it and true enough it was delish. 

This is a very welcome addition to the  classic torta talong and torta hipon in our menu staple.

Easy to prep n' cook, tasty and ticks my required veggie % intake for every meal.

The whole bunch loved it. 😋

Here was our 1st take:



📝Ingredients:

1 cup Monggo beans (boiled, drained well)

1 small Onion, minced

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 cup Malunggay leaves (optional)

2 tbsp Flour

1 tbsp Oyster sauce

Salt, Ground Pepper to taste 

1 to 2 eggs

250 g Minced Pork (optional, also add 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce).

*the size of the eggs may vary in some regions, so check the consistency-- it must be pasty and not runny.


📝Steps:

1. In a mixing bowl, put all the ingredients.

2. Mix well- gently but thoroughly.

3. Heat up a shallow frying pan on low-medium.

4. Add 2 tbsp of preferred cooking oil.

5. Scoop a generous tablespoon of the mix and push gently onto the pan.

6. Flatten and form desired shape (typically circular) with a spatula.

7. Cook until golden brown per side.

The crispier you want it, the longer the cooking time per side.

I would suggest just a light golden brown to keep the yummy juices in and not dry out the patty.

8. Take out and place onto a kitchen towels to remove the extra oil.

9. Serve with your fave sauce.

Chili Thai sauce, asian sauce, dark yuzu, or ketchup pairs well.


Enjoy!

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
