Pork Ginataan with Squash and String Beans is a rich and delicious Filipino dish that makes use of pork, coconut milk, and vegetables such as squash and string beans. This recipe has many variations. You can do this with other types of meat and even with seafood such as crab. In fact, Ginataang Sitaw at Kalabasa with Crab is one version that I enjoy eating.

Pork Ginataan with Sitaw and Kalabasa Recipe-2

I love this dish because it is very tasty and delicious. The only thing that bothers me is the certainty that I will always overeat when this dish is served because it’s richness and flavor do not deserve just a cup of rice — maybe 2 or just a little bit over it.

There are many ways to cookย Pork Ginataan with Squash and String Beans. I used shrimp paste or ย bagoong as the main source of flavor. Fish sauce or even salt can be used as alternatives. You will notice that I always use butternut squash these days. Well, the family learned to love this squash variety because it tastes simply delish,ย and the kids love it too. In addition, it is healthy and has a lot of benefits. Here are some of the benefits of butternut squash.

    How do you make the 1 1/2 beef broth?

    Do I use a beef cube with water? I am fairly new to cooking and don’t have any idea how to do beef broth.

    Please advise.

    Thank you! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Ina -- beef broth is something that you can purchase from the supermarket in liquid form. If you are going to use beef broth such as Knorr, you can simply add the cube directly into the pot followed by 1 1/2 cups water.

    Add siling labuyo (bird’s eye chili) to turn this recipe into a version of Bicol Express. ๐Ÿ™‚

      You have a point, Mark. It tastes almost like Bicol express. The veggies can be placed on the side for you to have two different dishes. Galing!
