Ginataang alimasag with Malunggay was perfect for dinner tonight. Although the name of the dish did not include the butternut squash, this ingredient is still as important as the main ingredients. I thought that this dish was successful even if the preparation was really simple.

Ginataang Alimasag with Malunggay Recipe 2

Preparing Ginataang alimasag with Malunggay is like cooking your traditional laing. You do not need to sauté the ingredients and there are no extra steps needed to complete the dish. All you have to do is combine most of ingredients with coconut mil and cream as it boils, and then add the rest one after the other – that’s all.

Ginataang Alimasag with Malunggay

I used frozen small crabs, which I got, from the Korean store. I think that this recipe is worthy of Dungeness crabs, and I plan to use this ingredient one of these days. If you are fond of dishes cooked in coconut milk (especially crab) and you are on a diet, you can ignore me for a while. I don’t intend to tempt you, but I am sure that it will be hard for you to resist it.

Malunggay or Moringa is a type of vegetable with lots of health benefits. Get to know more on how healthy malunggay is and  why you need to add this vegetable to your diet.

    Hi. Can you use frozen malunggay for this recipe? If so, how much and it needs to be squeeze dry, right? Can I skip the bagoong? Salamat.

      Hi Patit! You can use frozen malunggay. In fact, I use it most of the time. I do not think that it needs to be squeezed until dry because the nutrients might slip out during the process. You can simply drain the water after you thaw it, or you can quickly wash it by putting in a sieve and dip in a large bowl with clean water.

      You can skip the bagoong. I made patis potional in the recipe, but it will be mandatory if there won’t be bagoong.
