MEATLESS Dishes you should cook for holy week

Looking for dishes to cook that are meatless? Chris Urbano listed 5 of his best meatless recipes that are easy and fast to make at home.

1. GINISANG MONGGO

Ginisang monggo’s star ingredient is of course, mung beans. Mung beans are legumes that are usually used as an ingredient in savory and sweet dishes. This dish literally translates to sauted mung beans (ginisang monggo in filipino). Chris Urbano’s own twist is by putting ampalaya leaves as a substitute to malunggay leaves that adds bitterness to the dish and balances it out with the addition of tomatoes for a little sweetness to it.

2. CHOPSUEY

Chopsuey is a dish that is adapted by Filipinos from the Chinese that consists of mixed vegetables and meat. But if you want to go meatless for the week, you can just cut it out and go with an all veggie recipe (maybe with a touch of quail eggs and shrimp).

White meat can also be an option in cooking dishes for holy week which tells you that it’s time to make Escabeche.
