A steamed meat, vegetable stew that’s in shrimp paste and sauce, Pinakbet is another dish that would also stick its taste in your mouth for a few more minutes. My mom habitually cooks this during weekends, but if you like to cook it everyday, of course you can.
Pinakbet is a native Filipino dish in the northern areas of Philippines. It is a narrowed type of the Ilokano word “pinakebbet” which means shriveled and dried-up.
Pinakbet is a well-known Filipino dish made of vegetables like at the picture above and in other times mixed with meat. It is regularly spiced with ginger, onions, and garlic, or pepper.
This dish began as a pure vegetable dish and then the other regions in the Philippines started cooking Pinakbet with meats especially pork. But aside of this, Pinakbet is still considered as a very healthy dish.
