I had Spicy Ginataang Baboy with Papaya and Malunggay for lunch today, and it was so good! This is an example of one of the simple things in life that I am thankful for. I am sharing this recipe to you so that you can experience the simple pleasures that make me happy.

Panlasang Pinoy Spicy Ginataang Baboy with Papaya and Malunggay_

I like this dish a lot because it is delicious. This reminds me of ginataang manok. It has a balanced flavor; the coconut cream made it rich, while the chili peppers added spice. I think that the combination of coconut cream, chili peppers, and papaya was successful, to begin with; while the addition of pork and other ingredients made it even better.

If you are on a weight loss diet, I apologize for the temptation. You may continue to read on, but you have been forewarned.

Cooking Spicy Ginataang Baboy with Papaya and Malunggay is easy. Really! You just need to sauté the garlic, onion, ginger, and pork. Add the coconut milk, water, and pork cube and then cook it until the pork gets tender. Add the papaya and the rest of the ingredients. That’s it!

This dish will be successful if you use the suggested ingredients listed in the recipe below. For example, using coconut cream or “kakang gata” is better compared to regular coconut milk because it is richer. I also suggest that you use unripe papaya rather than its alternative because it goes well when cooked with coconut cream.

    Unripe papaya is different from green papaya?
    Any alternative for unripe papaya?

      Unripe papaya is the same as green papaya. I’m sorry, but I cannot recommend any alternatives for papaya when it comes to ginataan. I wish that I can suggest chayote (sayote). However, there is this interesting flavor that comes out when papaya is cooked in coconut milk that cannot be reproduced by chayote.
