A generous serving of shredded mozzarella cheese is on top and the whole pan is baked till the cheese is melted, gooey and golden-brown.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/baked-eggplant-lasagna/feed/ 0 86628 https://thequirinokitchen.com/beef-pochero-spanish-style-stew-instant-pot-stovetop/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/beef-pochero-spanish-style-stew-instant-pot-stovetop/#comments Mon, 18 Dec 2023 01:04:52 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=86639 The Filipino Beef Pochero, a Spanish-style Stew is a one-pot meal for family get-togethers or the holidays. Every ingredient in this hearty tomato-sauce based stew appeals to everyone. Hefty, tender beef cubes are nestled next to smoky-flavored Spanish chorizos. The vegetables consist of half the stew and there's a complete array of cabbage, green beans, potatoes, carrots. Serve this with sides of tangy eggplant hash, and sweet plantains. It is an all-in-one meal that's so indulgent, yet easy-to-do.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/beef-pochero-spanish-style-stew-instant-pot-stovetop/feed/ 1 86639 https://thequirinokitchen.com/favorite-filipino-food-for-christmas/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/favorite-filipino-food-for-christmas/#respond Wed, 21 Dec 2022 23:51:22 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=17845 Some Filipino dishes and desserts are favorites and keep coming back to the table, by popular demand, especially during the holidays. I’ve put together a list with links to the recipes on this blog. You can enjoy them for the Christmas holidays, the New Year’s or any milestone your family celebrates throughout the year. These dishes are favorites because they are timeless and bring the family together. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/favorite-filipino-food-for-christmas/feed/ 0 17845 https://thequirinokitchen.com/chicken-calderetta/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/chicken-calderetta/#respond Mon, 19 Dec 2022 21:05:19 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=83330 Chicken Calderetta is my take on a popular Spanish-inspired tomato stew. Instead of using beef, which Filipinos are familiar seeing in beef calderetta, I used chicken cuts for this recipe. The flavors are as scrumptious as the classic favorite often cooked for Filipino fiestas, parties, or family gatherings. This is a wholesome, hearty entree that is enjoyable for the holidays or all year round.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/chicken-calderetta/feed/ 0 83330 https://thequirinokitchen.com/black-kutsinta-instant-pot-stovetop/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/black-kutsinta-instant-pot-stovetop/#comments Sun, 03 Jan 2021 00:12:01 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=15661 Black Kutsinta is a Filipino rice cake that's a sister version of the classic, orange-colored kakanin Pinoys are familiar with. This black kutsinta is flavored with blackstrap molasses, which gives it a dark, nearly black color, and a thick, sticky texture. The addition of molasses to the traditional recipe gives the rice cake a slight hint of bitterness, which is unnoticed when the sweet toppings of coconut flakes, dulce de leche or coconut jam are added. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/black-kutsinta-instant-pot-stovetop/feed/ 1 15661 https://thequirinokitchen.com/cassava-flan-instant-pot-stovetop/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/cassava-flan-instant-pot-stovetop/#respond Tue, 22 Dec 2020 23:23:03 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=15603 This Cassava Flan merges the best of two well-loved Filipino desserts: Leche Flan and Cassava Cake. A caramel topping graces the custard-like dessert that is thick, rich and luscious.

Filipinos love Italian food and lasagna is on that list of favorites. My version has a combination of ground beef and pork simmered in tomato sauces and whole tomatoes with seasonings. The white sauce is easy to make with cottage cheese and grated Parmesan.

Food is a journey from the appetizers to the end of the meal, and desserts are as scrumptious as the entrees. The chilly air fills the outdoors. Autumn leaves in monochromatic hues are strewn on the ground. The tree branches are stark and bare. But inside the house, music, laughter and chatter is loud and lively.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-filipinos-in-america-give-thanks/feed/ 0 11689 https://thequirinokitchen.com/filipino-paksiw-na-lechon-stewed-pork-instant-pot-stove-top/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/filipino-paksiw-na-lechon-stewed-pork-instant-pot-stove-top/#comments Sun, 24 Nov 2019 01:33:47 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=11610     Even on Thanksgiving, an American holiday, we feast with Filipino dishes like lechon (roast pig) here in the States. My favorite meal was always the day after the holiday. That’s when Paksiw na Lechon – Stewed Pork Belly was cooked.

Polvoron has a buttery-milky flavor and is like crumbled shortbread. My recipe has powdered milk, melted butter, flour and sugar. Instead of the usual round-shaped treats, I filled mason jars with the powdered confection for a spoonable dessert.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-polvoron-filipino-powdered-candy-in-a-jar/feed/ 3 7486
