Ginataang Alimasag at Malungay
Ginataang Alimasag at Malungay. Malungay leaves are one of the most nutritious vegetables that is enjoyed by most Pinoys. A lot of cooking innovations about the use of malungay in Pinoy cooking have been carried out. The lowly malungay have been used from bread products to drinks. Today this might not be new, I used malungay leaves instead of the usual vegetables used in my previous version of Ginataang Alimasag and instead of using green jackfruit on my Ginataang Langka na may Alimasag.
