Fried "F-E-T" for lunch

Fried F-E-T : Fish-Eggplant-Tomatoes is what I've cooked today for my lunch with fresh salad veggies from the village kitchen.These are the favorite lunch of my three young teenagers. During vacation days they are the one who cooked all of those foods, that's why we have three kitchens around our house, lol.Mostly used was the dirty kitchen outside because hubby's food are always prepared special . Should be free from oily foods, so "inihaw"(anyhow) is need to prepare and always present on the dinning table.

Tips for frying fish: FRY FISH TOGETHER WITH GARLIC to avoid undesirable smells around the house.You can eat the fried garlic too.After frying fish the frying pan should be washed immediately but TAKE NOTE first put liquid soap while hot before adding water so that the smelly is from the liquid soap and not from the burnt smelly fish.
beets salad was cooked and chopped to small cubes added with sweet and sour (vinegar & liquid sugar)plus pinch of iodize salt. Shredded cabbage fresh salad should be deep washed from boiling water, dry and separate to another salad bowl then add some medicinal herbs or mints leaves , mixed it with a spoonful of olive oil and vinegar or squeeze with fresh lemon extract.

"TURON" made of BANANA

Looked what kind of banana I cooked- Cavendish banana! Half ripe Cavendish bananas cut into half sizes then slice into two pieces of each halves, sprinkled with brown or white refined sugar and wrapped it with egg roll wrapper then fry in small amount of regular cooking oil. It is called "turon" in my country that my three young teenagers love to eat.I missed them both because that turon I cooked is not same taste I imagined when I was home.

Our Banana in the Philippines has different varieties that we can cook in different menu's too.But here abroad has only one kind and they called it same name as anywhere we heard or "Cavendish Banana" that I saw and bought in the market.Unlike in my country Philippines we have "saba\" , "la tondan", "matabya", "pakil", "bungoran", "uri-od", etc.These bananas are another source of income and foods instead of rice as the main meals. We can cooked "saba" as like vegetables, turon like image above I cooked few minutes ago, banana crackers, etc. While the rest of varieties can be eat as raw foods.I missed them all, wahhhhh.....tears,cry, sigh..I feel homesick again. That is why I cooked what my kids really want during afternoon snacks.But now I'm alone here I eat 'em all to have one reason why I'm gaining weight.

DRIED FISH FROM HOME

Last week I received a hand carry package thru our neighbor that went vacation to her family in the Philippines.Hubby sent me my favorite "burliss" dried fish and films for their latest pictures.The digital cannon camera lens was broken so they are using now the oldest camera we had that need with this negative films .

Below are the favorite meals of my three young teenagers and hubby too.Everything that cooked with coconut milk are their good time meals. Served with plain rice on lunch even repeated on dinner time.

So...here is how I cooked it with vegetables and coconut milk.I put 1 big white onion, ginger, "batata"(sweet potato), papaya(grated yellowish), khatsil(eggplant), and garlic.I boiled half cooked all vegetables in coconut milk then put on top the burliss or any dried fish so that the fish will not turned into pieces.Sprinkled with salt and black pepper then served hot.
"burliss" is a fish pellet but we made it dry thru sunlight with a lot of salt to stay longer time to preserved. Wash with running water on your faucets before cooking.
