Guinataang Mongo

It’s basically ginisang mongo made richer by adding coconut milk. I’ve wanted to try it since a friend suggested it several weeks ago. After I did, I knew it would be another regular vegetable dish in our house.

The best thing about cooking a vegetable dish like guinataang mongo is the cheap ingredients. All the vegetables that went into this dish are actually among the cheapest in the Philippines. Guinataang mongo and ginisang mongo can be served either as the main dish or a side dish. I just use more pork when serving them as main dish.

Pork may be substituted with flaked tinapa (smoked fish), shelled shrimps or hibe (small dried shrimps).

    Hi Connie, followed the recipe to a T (minus the leaves and the okra) and it is just so satisfying. With the pork cubes I added and left over fish, it yielded about 6 servings.

    Who would have thought that munggo can just make a person so happy!

    Thanks for this recipe!

    Hi there! It’s been a while since I last visited your website. New look!

    I had my first tast of guinataang monggo from my Papa Rey’s kitchen. He is the husband of my mom’s twin sister, basically our second father since my father passed away, and literally the cook of the clan, because he is the man of the kitchen every gathering and reunion. His version has thinly sliced strips of puso ng saging. Try it! :)

    Hi Connie,

    I love mongo beans too and now that my baby is eating solid food, I make this food for him. He loves it! Adding gata is a good idea because I really wanted him and his older brother to get used in eating foods with gata. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

    God Bless.
