Two weeks ago, my post talked about Aling Charing's recipe book (Masasarap na Lutuing Pilipino ni Aling Charing ) that I have always used in the kitchen when I was a young wife. Today, I'm posting about my other favorite kitchenmate, Del Monte Kitchenomics.
I got my very first Del Monte Kitchenomics recipe from SM Grocery store. My husband got it from among the Del Monte products on the shelves. Reading through the very first copy I had paved the way for me to become a member of the Del Monte Kitchenomics Club . This entitled me to a regular subscription of their recipes by postmail. See some of these in the collection I have made through the years---
I have more of these but these are just a few of what I have actually tried. Oh, I just found those recipes very useful. They kept me company while my two kids were growing up. Del Monte Kitchenomics Club offers simple, easy-to-cook, healthy recipes at very practical cost. A real friend to a newbie in the kitchen!
Del Monte Quick N Easy Sweet Pizza Sauce 115g
Menudo a la Cubana (click here for the recipe) - This used to be a regular menu on our dinner table when my kids were still in grade school. I liked to cook this because my kids and I like the sweet taste brought about by the saba (cooking banana) and it is very appealing to the eyes.
Kitchenomica Burger (click here for the recipe) - I also used to cook this dish for the kids' baon (pack lunch or snacks). An effective substitute to the burger from the favorite and popular burger store! I like this because it is very nutritious, with grated carrots, malunggay (Moringa) leaves and gabi as its major ingredients. Even my office mates loved it! I cooked this several times and it worked well with the kids until they noticed the malunggay leaves popping out of the patties!
Karekareng Manok (Chicken Stew) (Click here for the recipe) - This is one of the family's favorites. I experimented on several recipes for this dish using different brands of Karekare premix but I would always go back to the original Kitchenomics recipe which doesn't use any premix at all, just peanut butter (short cut to the process of grinding peanuts) and coconut milk. I confess I would often substitute beef, ox tripes or pata (pork legs/trotters/knuckles) for the chicken while still using the rest of the ingredients. Here's my own version of the Pork Stew.

Longganiza Kitchenomica (native sausage) (Click here for the recipe) - I also tried this recipe, longganisa being my husband's favorite next to tocino (sweetened cured pork). Well, my homemade longganiza tasted good! My mother also loved it! It's just that I'm not very fond of doing dishes which require wrapping, rolling or forming into balls (like meatballs), unless I have somebody to assist me with the task. With this dish though, I prefer using wax paper than plastic wraps in shaping the longganiza.
Tuna Sisig (spicy tuna) (Sorry, there's no online recipe for this in the Del Monte Kitchenomics website. I wonder why?) - Ever since I discovered this recipe, my husband has never ceased liking this dish that has a healthy twist from the original spicy and fatty pork sisig. Made of fresh tuna fillet, it could be mistaken as beef. All our friends who have tasted this during a luncheon fellowship at home liked it. Here are the ingredients.
1. Boil puso ng saging (banana heart) in 2 cups water and 1 tsp iodized salt for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain, discard the hard middle portion, then chop finely. Squeeze to remove excess liquid. Set aside.

2. Saute garlic, onion and sili. Add 3 tbsps soy sauce, puso ng saging, fish and Del Monte Tomato Sauce. Cook for 5 minutes while stirring.
There you are, very easy, isn't it? You should give this recipe a try! You'll love it! It's healthy too! I prefer to use the white banana heart than the red one.
Of course, I won't ever forget the Kitchenomics pan de sal or loaf bread pizza which I used to make using a variety of toppings (ham slices, tuna chunks, corned beef, sausage, bell pepper, mushroom, onions sprinkled with grated cheese melt) over a tablespoon or two of Del Monte Pizza sauce.

My neighbors had a taste of this during a Tupperware Party which I hosted at home. I also brought a sample of this pizza using pan de sal which my co-staff nurses enjoyed for midnight snacks.
What I love most about Kitchenomics recipes is that they're very much Filipino so the ingredients are available locally. True to its vision, Del Monte Kitchenomics has continued to come up with budget-friendly recipes that are easy-to-do, delicious and nutritious. Today, the Del Monte Kitchenomics website allows members to receive invites to events, free cooking workshops, budget-saving promos and access to their downloadable Kitchen Companion. Like other foodie blog sites, members also get the chance to send in their own recipes for other members to share!
Today, there are a lot of food networks that offer online recipes. A little click here and there would give you lots of ideas to choose from. I've been doing exactly that... facing my laptop on the kitchen table as I manage my ingredients. Oftentimes though, I would still fumble over my recipe box in the kitchen to look for my favorite Del Monte Kitchenomics recipes.

I wish I could share all my experiences about all the Kitchenomics recipes I've tried. Hmmm... that would mean quite a number of blogs in the future eh?!
Meantime, this would be all. How about posting in the comment box below the recipe you are fond of? I would love it very much if you do that.
There's a saying that goes, One is enough, two is too much... Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is... Ingredients: 2 tbsps reserved oil from bottled sardines 2 tbsps olive oil 1 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 cup diced tomato 1 cup flaked Spanish sardines 1/3 cup Pesto sauce 1/4 cup pitted black olives 1/4 cup button mushrooms 1/2 kilo pasta noodles, cooked according to package instructions salt and pepper to taste Whole pieces of Spanish sardines (1 piece as topping per serving) Parsley for garnish Steps: In a large saute pan, heat oil from sardines.

Hawaiian Style Pizza & Variations Recipe & Instructions
It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus
This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago. Alugbati (Malabar Spinach) Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
