Mix vegetables with coconut milk

Vegetable is one of the original and natural diet. The more colorful the food in your plate, the better.

Every Saturday, we are having a potluck for lunch. Every family will bring food to be shared to everyone. There is no special occasion, a usual day, a usual lunch. Every family will usually bring one or two kinds of food and everyone will end up to have many foods. If you're three in the family, you will bring food for five to six person. In this way, we can share some food to the visitors who don't have food.

Potluck is also our way of bonding. A time to eat together with the family and members of the church. It is also a time to share some experiences and talk about life while eating and it makes the meal more enjoyable.

Last Saturday, I and my husband just prepared a simple mix vegetables with coconut milk.

The original plan is to cook Pinakbet but when I saw one coconut, I suggest to cook it with coconut milk.

Without further ado, let's prepare the ingredients.

Ingredients:

3 small slices of fried dried fish
1 piece medium size taro
1 slice Squash
1 bundle string beans
10 pieces ladies finger (okra)
2 small size onions
Moringa leaves
1 ginger
6 cups of Water
Salt

Procedure:

Step 1. Prepare the ingredients.

Get the three slices of fried dried fish and cut them into small pieces.

Peel, wash and then slice the taro into small pieces or according to your desired sizes.

Wash, peel and slice the squash accordingly.

Cut the string beans into desired length.

Wash and then cut the okra or ladies finger according to your desired size and shape.

Slice the onions and press the ginger (not in the picture because I forgot it lol.)

Grate the coconut and press them together to get it's milk. Don't put water in it, just pure coconut milk and then strain to remove the excess pulp. Set aside the pure coconut milk.

Put 6 cups of water in the coconut pulp to get the remaining coconut milk.

Step 2. Get that 6 cups of water with second coconut milk and put it in the pot together with the fried dried fish. Put salt according to your desired taste. Let it boil.

Step 3. Add the onions, garlic and taro. Let it boil.

Step 4. Add the squash and string beans. Let it boil.

Step 5. When the vegetables are tender, add the moringa leaves followed by the fresh pure coconut milk. Let it boil a little while and turn off the heat.

Step 6. Ready to be served.

Enjoy your mix vegetables with coconut milk.

About one minute or if you can see the water boiling. It will matter about the heat, the more heat it will make it boil faster. As long the water with moringa and pure milk boil, you can turn off the fire. Don't overcook the pure milk so it won't get oily.

I hope I answered your question. Thank you so much for reading.

Moringa leaves is full of vitamins that our body needs. We call it powerful leaves because it could give us a lot of health benefits. Yes we could used it for cooking especially to those with soup. You can also get some juice and combine it with other fruits and vegetables juices.

Moringa leaves is not sweet, not sour, nor bitter and salty but it has a very unique taste that I love. It will give you a nice taste as long as you won't overcooked it because if you do, its color will turned into brown instead of green and it will give you undesired smell.

Thanks for reading @momogrow.

I always cook this pag wala na talaga choice na ulam but never used taro in my recipe. Grabe for sure creamy na creamy yan since you have taro and coconut milk pa.

I always stock cocomama here kasi hirap magpunta sa palengke to get fresh coconut.
