Pinakbet or Pakbet (Meat Vegetable Stew with Shrimp Paste)

Pinakbet

Pinakbet or Pakbet is one of the Filipino recipes that I love to cook and a dish that my hubby likes to eat. He’s very fond of eating any kind of food recipes that contain vegetables. No matter how it was prepared and cooked. It is very easy for him when it comes with vegetables.

Growing up until college, I’m very picky when it comes with vegetables. I’m not fond of eating vegetables until I’ve met my hubby. He taught me how to eat and the benefit of eating this type of food. Slowly, I’ve learned to love and appreciate the taste of vegetables like this pinakbet. I remember then eating out on a date he preferred to choose food dishes with vegetables. He wanted me to learn to eat vegetables. It sounds funny but its true. Being with him, with the type of food he eats, I have no choice but to learn to love and appreciate the kind of foods he eats, specially this Filipino food.

Learning on things that my hubby loves especially on foods is what I enhanced the most. As the saying goes- “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”. I’ve got the chance to learn more of vegetables recipes here in Canada. Away from home, we missed a lot of filipino comfort food. Pinakbet, an authentic Filipino dish is one of them. I also like Pork Chopsuey,Repolyo Guisado (Sautéed Cabbage)Togue Guisado (Sautéed Bean Sprouts)Sayote Guisado (Sautéed Chayote) and many other Filipino veggie dishes.

Thank God that there are Asian stores here where we can find some of our vegetables grown back home.

    Naimas, yes. What i love about pinakbet or dinengdeng is that it is basically a vegetable dish and just about any group of vegetables will work. For those that are true vegetarians you can do without the meat and bagoong or shrimp sauce and just use salt. Don’t use soy sauce as it gives a truely different taste. Of course you can’t beat the taste that the bagoong gives to the dish but use of salt instead does work. Pinakbet can also be made with fish or shrimp or prawns. Pork is the usual meat used.

  15. Grace says:
