I have always gigantic interest in good food. When I say - good - the food should quench my gustatory cravings... and since, I cannot always have it that way, that is when I learned to raid our food storage and conqu er the kitchen! I collectively call my recipes as THE HUNGRY STOMACH Recipe#1: Salted and Hot the 'exposed' ingredients: olive oil (or any vegetable oil); onion (white or purple); tomatoes (ripe! most prefered), C H I LI PEPPER: bell, Bird's eye (labuyo), green Chili de arbol (espada), red tien tsin (kulikot), jalapeño; and dried bay leaves PLUS dehydrated salted fish (buwad pinikas), medium sized and pretty-clean-looking, of course EQUALS sumptuous dish that satisfies the cravings for sodium chloride and capsaicin this serves 4 -6 persons
