DINNER PREPARATION RUSH

I just got home this evening around seven. I was told by my maid that she did not prepare anything for dinner because she thought I am going to dine at the restaurant like I always do. Maybe it was also my fault because I did not inform her that I was going to eat at home this evening. The was a food on the table but it was may maid's leftover and I don't want to dine at that.

I immediately checked the ref and found vegetables, fresh from the farm of my brother. I immediately took the knife and started peeling the vegetables, especially the squash. I was going to cook the local delicacy the pinakbet of the Ilonggo. This type of recipe requires bagoong and lots of vegetables for the dish. Cooking this recipe would only require several minutes because you must maintain the crunchiness of the vegetable. Overcooking it would spoil the dish instantly.

For information, there are variations of this recipe, the pinakbet because of people vary in their preferred taste of the pinakbet. I also red in an article that some people would cook pinakbet in just 15 minutes. The vegetables are still half-cook and they love to eat it that way.
