Grilled Stuffed Bangus Wrapped in a Foil



I went to a Filipino Party last night and I brought Grilled Bangus with me to share.

Bangus is Philippines' national fish. I like it when it is stuffed with tomatoes, onion and garlic, seasoned, wrapped in aluminum foil and grilled. It is juicy and yummy!

Sharing the recipe here:

You will need:

1 whole Bangus (big) - you  can make a slit along the back of the fish for stuffing or do the traditional way
2  tomatoes
green onion/ white onion
2 cloves of garlic
salt and pepper
lemon grass or tanglad (optional)
aluminum foil

Procedure:

1. Salt the fish. Set aside.
2. Chop tomatoes, onion leaves and garlic.
3. Season with salt and pepper. Make sure to put a lot of salt. Mix
4. Stuff the mixture inside the belly and properly wrap with foil.
5. Grill until it is done.

Polvoron Recipe


with Walnut

Classic

Finished product- Polvoron

It's Christmas time! I remember when I was still back home I'd make Polvoron as my Christmas give aways for my officemates. I have missed doing it.

So when I was at a grocery store today, I grabbed a package of flour for my Polvoron making. I'm gonna make some tomorrow or the following day.

You will need:
  • 4 cups of all purpose flour
  • 2 cups powdered milk
  • 1 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • nuts: peanuts, cashew, etc (optional)
  • cocoa powder if you want it chocolatey (optional)
  • coffee powder  (optional)
  • oreo cookies for cookies n' cream flavor (optional)
  • Water cellophane (different colors)
  • Polvoron moulder
Procedure:
  1. On a pan, toast flour in a moderate heat for about 15 minutes, or until light brown, stir constantly to avoid burning.
  2. Remove the pan and transfer the mixture on a big bowl.
  3. Add the powdered milk, toss for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add sugar and melted butter. Mix well.
  5. Fill the mould with the mixture, press it hard by using a spoon, then release it, if it is still too loose, add more butter or olive oil. Make sure that you could pick up the polvoron without it crumbling straight away.
  6. Place the polvoron in a airtight container, chill in the fridge until firm.
  7. Carefully wrap the polvoron individually in water cellophane.

 You can make it as a business if you are a business minded person.
