Ginataang Asuhos

Ginataang Asuhos
Asuhos is always available here, In fact I already have several recipes of asuhos. Today I bought a kilo of the fish. Ginataang Asuhos is another method that came to my mind. For this recipe I again used coconut powder instead of the fresh one for the reason that fresh coconut is not readily available here, it is also troublesome to prepare fresh coconut milk.

Using coconut powder is convenient especially for us who most of the times don’t really have enough time to cook. The recipe is simple if you love fish I am sure you would love this dish.

Ingredients:

1 kilo big size asuhos
1/2 head garlic, crushed
2 thumb size ginger cut into thin slices
1 medium size onion, sliced
1 tbsp. crushed black pepper
1 1/2 cup coconut powder
1/4 c. vinegar
3-5 pcs. chili
2-3 stalks leeks, cut into 2” length
cooking oil
salt

Cooking procedure:

  1. I believe that fish is the one called smelt here; plenty and small, they usually are fed to pets (brats!) but I did buy some a while back and cooked as pinangat using slow cooker for 1 hour. Sarap!

  2. Hi Manang,
    Most likely they are the same species/family. Now I understand why they are always available here...
