GINISANG MONGGO
The best way to cook this dish is by pre-boiling the mongo beans and then cooking it to a mush with the pork. That will yield a thick and very flavorful sauce.

1/2 c. of mongo beans
1 tbsp. of minced garlic
1 onion, diced
3 tomatoes, diced
1 eggplant
4-5 pcs. of okra
1 bunch of talbos ng kamote
2 tbsp. of cooking oil
water
salt and pepper
How to :
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 2 c. of water and the mongo beans with its liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, lower the heat and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes.
