puso ng saging
lechon kawali kare-kare
Hearty is the theme for this week's Lasang Pinoy, Sundays and I'm thinking more of hearty stews than the greeting card company's holiday. Banana blossom, puso ng saging (heart of banana) in Tagalog because of its shape is one of the must have vegetables when making the hearty ox tail stew Kare-Kare. The unusual version here with crispy pork belly confit is also good but not as yummy as ox tail.
Lasang Pinoy Sundays, a gallery of food photography, Filipino style, is hosted by SpiCes.
