My food post for this week: Wrapped Pork with Mushroom and Cheese. I know, am terrible when it comes to naming dishes. lol. But that's what it basically is...just ground pork wrapped in cabbage with mushrooms and cheese.
Ingredients
- ground pork
- dried shiitake mushrooms (soaked for around two hours in water)
- cabbage leaves (to wrap the ground pork)
- canned peas (you may use fresh or frozen, if you want), malunggay (moringa) powder, soy sauce, dried herbs, salt, and pepper
- tomato sauce, egg, cheese
Procedure
- Mix ground pork, malunggay (moringa) powder, egg, soy sauce, dried herbs, peas, salt and pepper.
- Put a small amount of the ground pork mixture into each cabbage and wrap. When done, add water (where you soaked the mushrooms), and tomato sauce. Water must be above the cabbage wraps. Add more if needed.
- Dump in the sliced mushrooms, then let boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for around 30-45 mins. Add more water if necessary.
- Once you're satisfied (I based mine on the mushroom's "doneness"), add cheese.
- Adjust the taste to your liking, then serve hot. With bread or rice. Your choice. :)
My sons opted to put more cheese on theirs; we had that with crusty bread. For a first try I guess it was ok. I loved how the mushroom managed to "assert" itself even with all that cheese. My eldest son told me to add lots of crumbled bacon next time as a garnish, together with the cheese. I whole-heartedly agreed (bacon is always a good idea, lol)! :)

malunngay power---interesting! does it add flavor, too?
The readers know exactly what they're looking at--that's one advantage of naming a dish for what it really is. I think it actually helps. Ham, Cheese, and Broccoli Pretzel Pockets, now that's something I'd like to try!
Looks very tasty!
Thanks for hosting.
My dad's aunt would always serve Cabbage Rolls whenever she would host dinner parties, but whenever I try to re-create it, wrapping the pork with cabbage would always be the most difficult thing to do as the cabbage would break or tear. :(
I'm sorry that this is so late, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for featuring my pretzel pockets =).I was out of the country and then crazy busy and then sick (still am) when I remembered the email I received from you. It's an honor! :D
