Recipes with vegetable / fruit

Tofu and tomato egg drop soup

Tofu and tomato egg drop soup

Easy to make with easily accessible (and inexpensive) ingredients, it's fast enough to cook in bulk and serve to a crowd.

Ground pork and green beans adobo

Ground pork and green beans adobo

A fast cooking meat and vegetable dish bursting with the flavors and aroma of Filipino adobo.

Cubes of raw salmon are seasoned and tossed with cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, Apetina (a white cheese similar to feta) and two salad dressings. Yes, two. One for the vegetables and another for the salmon.

Potato, egg and salmon salad

Boiled potatoes, broiled salmon and egg halves are tossed with a simple dressing made with olive oil, dill, pickle relish, capers, pickle juice, lemon juice, grated garlic and lemon zest. A citrusy and herby summer salad that's filling enough to be a main course. Serve at room temperature
