Ginataan means mixing a variety of ingredients such as vegetables, seafood, or fruits are simmered in coconut milk. It can be sweet or savory, but I like it warm and hearty. Here's an nice easy little recipe to make these dirty little recession days pass by a bit better.
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, julienned
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 Japanese eggplants (or any varietal, about 1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 pound green beans, cut into 2-inch lengths
- 2 tablespoons fermented shrimp or crab paste
- 12 ounces canned or freshly squeezed coconut milk
- hot chiles, to taste (optional)
Stir in the shrimp paste, coconut milk, and hot chiles (if using). Cover the saucepan and simmer for about 8 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with either more shrimp paste or salt if necessary. Serve with hot rice and enjoy!
