Dinengdeng a solsolo a marunggay. |
Marunggay, its leaves (and all its edibleness, fruit, and flowers), is simply my favorite leafy veggie, not just because of its richness in nutritive or mineral value, but because of its simplicity and versatility as a truly Ilokano vegetable, just like saluyot. I can make in it a quick salad express when I'm in a hurry for a meal, especially when I'm hungry for a kilabban.
And I can make it into a solo dinengdeng wonder, which is I prefer most as I love to slowly savor its delicious soup, sipping it right direct from the viand bowl the Ilokano way, or having its broth right into my steamed rice, still, the Ilokano way:
Freshly picked marunggay leaves from the marunggay plant infront of the house. |
Wash the stalks and pick out the leaves. |
Boil some water, bugguong juice, crushed garlic, some onions. In the boiling broth, put in the marunggay leaves. |
Transfer the cooked marunggay leaves into a bowl. Serve hot to enjoy the tasty soup. |
My humble dinner: dinengdeng a marunggay, pako salad (raw), steamed rice. That's it, that's all. I can live everyday with it. |
