Receta Dinoydoy
Today we will be posting a regional dish in the Philippines called Dinoydoy. Dinoydoy is popular in the region of Ilocos in the Northern part of the Philippines, a place where vegetables are also abundant.
Dinoydoy basically is made out of sautéed bitter melon and nearly pureed squash, it can be flavoured with bagoong or fish sauce and sometimes cooked with some fried pork pieces. The taste is quite different, its sweet and savoury but there is an overpowering bitter flavour which is one of the dishes mail quality, for the untrained palate it might be revolting but for a lot of adult Filipinos this is a flavour to crave for.
Have you ever tried bitter melon, do you like them? If not will you dare to try them?
