Tawilis

I loved the Tawilis fish that Hermie cooked for me.  I asked how it was done.

Tawilis Wrapped in Mango Leaves



small tawilis fish
big mango leaves
vinegar
salt
garlic
whole peppercorn

Place about 12 pieces of tawilis on one half of a mango leaf, then fold over.



Arrange in the cooking pot one on top of each other.  Add the vinegar, salt, garlic and peppercorn.  Simmer until fish is cooked and sauce is almost dry.  Let cool and deep fry without removing the leaves.

The fish was crunchy and you can eat from head to tail.  I did not leave anything for Sabrina, our cat.

Hermie also made Mongo Soup!



I like the way she cooked it, not too thick but swingy.

My food was so good that I finished a cup of brown rice! Normally, I would just eat half a cup.

Very sweet star apple for dessert. 

Simple dinner but ohhhh so yum!!!  Food does not have to be elaborate to be delicious.
