Stewed Vegetables with Fried Fish Recipe

Stewed Vegetable with Fried Fish Recipe

(Dinengdeng)

Ingredients:

60 ml oil

2-4 small fish such as hasa-hasa (short mackerel),

  galunggong (round scad) or tilapia

500 g chayote, cut into chunks

300 g aubergines (eggplants), sliced into 1-cm pieces

100 g sitaw (snake beans), sliced into 4-cm pieces

2 tablespoons bagoong (shrimp paste)

60 ml water

 

Method:

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the fish on both sides until fully cooked.  Set aside to cool slightly, then slice.  In a large saucepan or casserole, arrange the chayote, aubergines, sitaw and fish slices.

 

In a small bowl, mix bagoong with water until smooth, then pour into the casserole.  Simmer over medium heat until vegetables are cooked but still firm.

 

Note:  Chayote (sayote) is an oval, pale green squash with a small white seed.  When boiled, the seed is not only edible, but very delicious.  Available in well-stocked supermarkets and Latino or Filipino grocery stores.  Zucchini is a good substitute.
