Ingredients: 2 small eggplants (sliced into 2 inch pieces); 1/4 kilo okra (sliced into 1 inch pieces); 2 pices tomatoes (diced); 1/4 squash (slice into 1 inch); 1 bunch stringbeans (cut into 2 inch pieces); 1 small Ampalaya or bitter gourd (sliced into 1/4 inch); 4 cloves garlic (crushed); 2 onions (chopped); 1 inch ginger (slivered); 1/2 kilo Crispy chicken or lechon kawali; 1 tsp. ginisa mix or magic sarap; 2 Tbsp. shrimp paste or bagoong alamang; 1/4 kilo pork with fat (sliced into small cubes); 2 Tbsp. cooking oil for sauteing

One of the most popular Ilokano vegetable dish is “pinakbet”. It consists of eggplants, okra, squash, stingbeans, bagoong alamang or shrimp paste and spices. But the traditional ilokano pinakbet use bagoong isda (fermented fish sauce) instead of bagoong alamang.

Anyway this is a just a variation of the original recipe and actually this variation of pinakbet using shrimp paste is a kapampangan dish. Some people prefer bagoong alamang instead of bagoong isda but anyway you choose they are both delicious. Specially the crispy bagnet garnishing that makes this dish truly authentic.

Instructions

How to cook Ginisang Pinakbet with Bagnet:

Fry the 1/2 kilo chicken or fry the 1/2 kilo pork to make enough lechon kawali or bagnet.
Fry until crispy and put into a strainer to remove extra oil. This will be used as a garnishing to the pinakbet dish.
Heat oil in a pan and saute garlic, onion and ginger. Then follow the pork fat (you can use chicken fat as well).
Then add the shrimp paste or bagoong alamang and the squash.
Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes then add the vegetables but you should put the eggplant and ampalaya first then the rest of the vegetables.
Add the magic sarap and ginisa mix and mix the vegetables but be careful not to break the soft vegetables.
Cover and simmer again for a few minutes until cooked.
Serve hot and garnish with crispy chicken or bagnet on top.
