Ampalaya salad

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

Ingredients :

2 pcs. of ampalaya
1 medium-sized carrot
1 c. of mild vinegar
11/8 c. of white sugar
1 tsp. of salt
1/2 tsp. of pepper
about 1/2 c. of rock salt

Cooking procedure :

Choose ampalaya with the smoothest skin you can find. Trim both ends then cut into halves lengthwise. Scrape off the seeds with a spoon and discard. Slice the meat thinly. Place in a shallow bowl and sprinkle with rock salt liberally. Let stand for about 30 minutes. With your hands, squeeze the sliced ampalaya to remove much of the bitter juices. Rinse under the tap and drain well. Place in a glass bowl.

Peel the carrot and julienne. Toss with the drained ampalaya. Place the vegetables in a large glass jar with a screw-type cap.

Boil together the vinegar, sugar salt and pepper. Pour into the jar. Cover the jar loosely and cool. Tighten the cap and chill until needed.

This cold salad dish is good with fried or grilled fish and other seafood.

    The procedure is quiet the same as making atchara. I make atchara with ampalaya, too.

    We make ampalaya salad, just the way you did but, without the cooking part. It’s like kilawin. we just mix ampalaya meat sliced thinly, minced onions, sliced tomatoes, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and sugar. Then we chill it before serving.
