Ginisang Munggo - Perfect at last! :-)

Masyado naman maraming sahog… di na malasahan ang munggo.

That is my husband’s usual comment/complaint when I try to cook his favorite dish. Of course I wanted to serve him the best tasting ginisang munggo but how can I do that without adding ingredients that would enhance the flavor of the dish like pork bits or shrimp? I know there are a lot seasoning mixes available in the market but it’s not easy to find something that will enhance the flavor of the dish but will not over power it with its obviously-not-so-nature-identical-taste. Sigh!

I thought adding bits of pork chicharon is the answer to my long quest for the perfect ginisang munggo but just the same, it is not yet the best. Long heavy Sigh!

That is why I immediately signed up for this cook and blog contest. I wanted taste what Porksavor™ All-in-One Seasoning has to offer and see if it will be the one product that will finally give my ginisang munggo a perfect score.

I gave it a try last week and must say that it was the simplest yet the best ginisang munggo I’ve came up with. It complements the rich taste of the beans with its natural pork meat and marrow flavor. My sister even asked me if I used a special soup stock because it is flavorful despite the absence of meat. But the final verdict comes the following day when my husband sampled it for breakfast. 

While silently enjoying his food, I blurted out:

Me: Ang sarap ng munggo noh?

Hubby: Oo. Ganito yung gusto ko. Masarap!

Yes! Finally! Thank you Porksavor™ All-in-One Seasoning. :-)
