Filed under Healthy veggies; My recipes; Asian, coconut & derivatives, eggplants, Filipino, pork
Ingredients :
1/2 k. of pork rump (kasim) or belly (liempo)
3/4 c. of mongo beans
1 tbsp. of minced garlic
1 onion, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
2 eggplants
6 pcs. of okra
2 pcs. of siling haba (long variety of chili pepper), optional
1 bunch of talbos ng kamote
2 c. of coconut milk
2 tbsp. of cooking oil
water
patis (fermented fish sauce)
Cooking procedure :
Wash mongo beans well. Soak for several hours before use. Drain and discard the water. Place the mongo beans in a small saucepan with enough water to cover. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
Cut the pork into 1″ x 1″ cubes. Heat the oil in a deep casserole. Add the pork cubes and fry over high heat until the pork starts to brown. Add the garlic, onion and tomatoes. Cook until the vegetables are very soft. Add 1 c. of water and the mongo beans with its liquid. Season with patis and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower the heat and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes. Do not add any more water unless the mixture becomes too dry. Two cups of coconut milk will be added towards the end of cooking and you do not want to have the cooked dish become too soupy.
Meanwhile, pick the tender leaves of the talbos ng kamote. Dice the eggplant and cut the okra, crosswise or diagonally, into halves. Add the eggplant, okra and whole chili peppers (if using) to the casserole and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Add the talbos ng kamote and pour in the coconut milk; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes (do not cover at this point to avoid curdling). Serve hot.

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!
Comfort food, Denise, it never fails to satisfy.

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.
