PINANGAT NA GALUNGGONG
You may know GG as galunggong, but here at Yummy Kitchen, we do things extra and the new GG now stands for Gorgeous Galunggong! #Bongga
The word pangat means “to cook in broth for a sour and savoury flavor”. Some people confuse the pinangat with sinigang, mainly because both dishes involves sour fruit like tomatoes or tamarind. One main difference is that pinangat is not that soupy and has a light and simple taste. There are two versions of pinangat: the sour version which uses tomatoes or tamarind and the creamy version popular in the Bicol region which uses gata for ginataang pinangat. This recipe will introduce you to the sour version. This fish entrée best enjoyed with hot steaming rice during lunch.
HOW TO COOK PINANGAT NA GALUNGGONG
Cooking this very delicious fish recipe is very easy. Basically, you are gonna place everything in a pan and let it cook. Sounds easy, right? Once you have prepared the galuggong, layer them in a pan and let the fish sip in the variety of flavors from the aromatics. Remember to use plump tomatoes for a juicier and sweeter twist! The acidity from the calamansi juice will help get rid of the strong fish smell of the galunggong. Add just enough water. The pinangat is known to have a sauce which almost dries up, or more commonly known as “paiga na”. The sauce may only be a little but do not underestimate the power and burst of flavors in it! The pinangat is done once all of the ingredients are fully cooked. Serve this with hot rice and it will surely boost your day!
