Lechon Manok with Tanglad

Lemon grass is one of the most aromatic herb that can be used in cooking, commonly known in the Philippines as tanglad. Oven roasted chicken with lemon grass is very yummy,  and the fragrant of the lemon grass helped to make the inside part of the chicken aromatic. Try it.

Apan-apan

Apan-apan is an Ilonggo dish using swamp cabbage ( kangkong). My parents always cook this when I was younger that's why  learned this recipe from them (both of them are Ilonggo). You can use also the leaves for this dish, but we love it with only the stalks then we use the leaves for other dishes. If you love adobong kangkong, you will surely love apan-apan.
