Recipes with seafood
Cajun-style jambalaya
A one-pot savory rice dish that falls within the definition of pilaf / pilau (rice cooked in broth), jambalaya derives its flavors from Cajun seasoning, Andouille sausages and the holy trinity of onion, celery and bell pepper. Unlike its Creole counterpart, Cajun jambalaya contains no tomatoes. The meats are seared and the browned bits that stick to the pan give the dish its distinctive color.
Spicy tuna and vegetable spring rolls
Canned tuna may not be a gourmet ingredient but, trust me, you can turn it into a beautiful dish by using it as spring roll filling. Pair the fried spring rolls with a good dipping sauce. Serve with rice as a main course. Or serve by themselves as an appetizer or snack. Great with hot tea on the side.
Sinigang na kanduli sa miso
Traditionally served as a main dish (accompanied by rice), this catfish and miso sour soup is cooked with tamarind juice, yellow miso and mustard greens.
Fish and shrimp spring rolls
Chopped swordfish and shrimps are tossed with dill, basil, roasted bell peppers, chopped onion and garlic, wrapped, fried until golden and crisp, and served with Sriracha mayo. Pair them with rice for a full meal, or serve as a snack or appetizer.
