Since we still had some lemongrass from our weekly bio-dynamic produce from ISIP or the Institute for Steiner’s Ideas in Practice,we decided to cook Tinola, our all-around comfort food.
Here’s our own version …
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (EVCO)
6 cloves garlic ( or more … we added more since we love garlic!), crushed
1 thumb size turmeric, peeled and chopped or sliced
1 thumb size ginger, peeled and chopped or sliced
1 medium red onion. chopped
1 whole dressed free-range chicken
patis
rice washing
6 stalks lemongrass
green papaya
Freshly picked malunggay leaves
PROCEDURE
Saute in EVCO garlic, turmeric and/or ginger and onions.
Add chicken and patis. Brown chicken for about 3-5 minutes.
Add rice washing. You may add more water if you want more soup.
Maintain medium heat til it boils. We usually let it simmer or slow cook to achieve a richer taste.
Add lemongrass and green papaya when the meat is starting to become tender. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Add malunggay and turn off heat. Open casserole after 5 minutes.
Serve hot with organic rice and an extra bowl of the soup, patis, kalamansi and a pinch of organic chili pepper flakes. Tinolang Manok is one of our favorite Pinoy dishes.
Do you have a different version of Tinola?
