As you may know, in the usual Filipino family gathering, inviting your titas feels like being a contestant in MasterChef. They know what good food tastes like. Plus, they critique here and there. So, like a good niece or nephew, you do your best to impress them. You put your best dishes forward and hope they leave a good impression on your titas.
Watching your favorite tita taste your food can be a mix of exciting and nerve-wracking. To help put you and your cooking on titas’ good side, here are some dishes to try. Let’s start!
- For You Cashew Yummy Hummus
Creamy Hummus
Hummus is a thick, creamy dip, typically made from mashed chickpeas and some other healthy ingredients. Serve it with freshly cut carrots, broccoli, and other veggies, or the traditional pita bread, for an oh-so-yummy appetizer or snack.
To give your own hummus recipe a twist, use cashew nuts instead of chickpeas, like our Cashew Yummy Hummus recipe. This dip will take your tita’s taste buds on a trip to the Middle East! Add a dollop of NESTLÉ® ALL PURPOSE CREAM to achieve a creamier texture that will have your guests, including your tita, empty the bowl in no time.
- Creamylicious Kare-Kare
Creamylicious Kare-Kare
Do you dare to cook a classic Filipino dish that is loved by many—including your tita? Kare-kare is a Filipino dish that has a thick, nutty, and tasty sauce that pairs well with bagoong alamang. It’s arguably a make or break dish, since getting the sauce and the tenderness of the beef right is crucial for the recipe not to fall apart.
Our Kare-Kare recipe will guide you from prep to the procedure, to make sure that you’re cooking a mean kare-kare that will bring comfort to your tita. Also, don't forget to blanch your vegetables to seal in the nutrients, flavor, and appetizing color.
- Filipino Fave Pork in Creamy Bagoong Sauce
Pork in Creamy Bagoong Sauce
Pork Binagoongan is a favorite Filipino dish that is cooked in shrimp paste (bagoong). It’s also a protein-packed dish that is quick and easy to make—the basic recipe only requires pork liempo cutlets, but you can add eggplant if desired.
Additionally, you can modify the spice level by adding siling labuyo. So, find out if your tita likes spicy food and adjust your binagoongan to her taste and leave her ‘ooh-ing’ in indulgence. Balance that extra kick of spiciness by adding NESTLÉ® All Purpose Cream! Check out our Pork in Creamy Bagoong Sauce recipe. Pair it with a bowl of warm white rice, invite your tita over for lunch, and serve!
