| Food always tastes exceptionally good when shared with family and friends. Most of the time we just can't help getting second servings with the goodies spread right in front of us (all the while talking and laughing with our companions)! Looks like Mommy Bonz and her family had a wonderful time eating out that day. Want to know more? Then do check out her site, |

My food post is another personal fave: Monggo (Mung beans)
Ingredients
- mung beans (soaked overnight)
- tomatoes, malunggay leaves (moringa), bell pepper, red onions, garlic
- salt, pepper, soy sauce (just a drop, or two)
- cooking oil for sauteing
- fish sauce and chicken stock (both optional)
Procedure:
- Boil mung beans in water until soft and mushy, with a pinch of salt.
- Heat another pot and saute tomatoes, bell pepper, red onions, and garlic.
- Dump the boiled mung beans in the pot, liquid and all. Let simmer for a bit, then taste accordingly (here's where you add the soy sauce/fish sauce/pepper/salt). Add the malunggay/moringa leaves. You may opt to add stock (we like chicken stock, but it's entirely up to you) if it's too dry.
- Once satisfied, serve immediately. Perfect with steamed rice. I also like it sometimes with a crusty loaf.
There are loads of variations with this dish and that's what I love about it: the variety and versatility! Both my sons like eating this dish (though my youngest doesn't eat the bell peppers, lol). This was regularly served when I was growing up (sometimes meat was added, or a different veggie - like the bitter gourd leaf! - mixed in; whatever was readily available that time) so it has been added to my long list of comfort foods. lol. I personally like it without meat, though. :D
