Dinengdeng with Inihaw na Tilapia

Dinengdeng with Inihaw na Tilapia
Dinengdeng with Inihaw na Tilapia. I could not help it, I have to post another dinengdeng version that I cooked using upo and katuray that I have bought from my recent trip in Vigan. For this version I used inihaw na tilapia as topping.

Dinengdeng

Cooking is still basically the same with all my previous posts of dinengdeng, there is no hard rule on the quantity and type of vegetables that can be used for the Ilocano dinengdeng. Any vegetables that are mentioned in the Pilipino folk song Bahay Kubo may be used. 


It may not be very appealing compared to my other dinengdeng post but this one was truly good because of the young bottle gourd from Vigan that I used. Here is the recipe of Dinengdeng with Inihaw na Tilapia.

Ingredients:

1 big bowl of combination but not limited of the following vegetables
malunggay fruits, skinned, cut into 2” lengths strips
malunggay leaves, removed from stem
upo, cut into wedges
eggplant, cut into 2” lengths strips
katuray florets, stamen removed and trimmed
patula, skinned, sliced crosswise
2 medium size tilapia, grilled
2-3 tbsp. bagoong na isda
1 small size onioin, chopped
1 medium size tomato, chopped
salt

Cooking Procedure:
