Tomato-based Seafood Pasta

 

Every day is a special day! But today, it is even more special because we are celebrating our Wedding Anniversary! Simple yet delicious tomato-based seafood pasta is our menu for today.  You may also use either olive oil or cream-based sauce if you prefer. 

 

 Mis-en-place

Our version of Seafood pasta is a combination of Shrimp, Clams, Crab stick and giant Squid. For starters, sauté garlic, crab paste (if you have), tons of tomatoes (preferably overripe tomatoes) and tomato paste.  Place all the seafood next and cooked noodles. Don’t’ forget to season with salt and pepper.  When done, plate it and sprinkle it with parmesan cheese. Top it with fresh parsley before serving.

Pata Tim (Stewed Pork Legs)

Pata tim is a popular Filipino-Chinese dish served in Chinese restaurants here in Philippines. This stewed pork legs ( pata front) is mixed with condiments such as soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and star anise to name a few.  This also comes with Chinese petchay and shitake mushrooms.

This mouth-watering dish requires at least 4 hours cooking time. Aside from boiling the pork legs, you still have to deep-fry it to maintain the skin from falling apart. In this version of Pata Tim, instead of frying it, we opted to use our convection oven for at least 45min or until it is golden brown. We eliminated around 1 cup of oil from it and am sure our cholesterol won’t shoot up! After this procedure, you may now boil the pork legs together with your condiments mentioned above. Be sure to add your shitake mushrooms and garnish it with your blanched Chinese Petchay! I will assure you, that once you’ve tasted this meal, you will surely ask for more!
