Alright, So I absolutley love cooking, but never really know what to cook! I was inspired one night by my Gold Label Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil--and turned to one of my mom's favorite dishes to make. The smell of using Coconut oil on my hands just reminded me of Coconut milk so I pulled out this favorite dish from my childhood: Ginataan--Chicken stewed in Vinegar and Coconut Milk
Ingredients:
1-2 tbs Coconut Oil12 oz can Coconut Milk
3-lbs Pastured Chicken,
2/3 cup Organic coconut water vinegar (or regular vinegar)
1 Onion, minced
6 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 TBS Pepper 1 TBS
2 tsp Salt or salt to taste
Cooked Rice
Optional: Cabbage or Spinach
Instructions:
Saute Onion and Garlic in Coconut Oil in pan.
Add Chicken-Sear chicken a bit then add Coconut Milk and Vinegar and Pepper. I love pepper so I added quite a bit!
Simmer on medium for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
The sauce will have thickened which is what you want! A nice lovely thick sauce.
Season with Salt.
Serve over Rice or even noodles if rice is not your thing!
Optional: Add Cabbage or Spinach at the end 5 minutes prior before serving.
Lately, I have been loving using Coconut Oil instead of olive or canola oil. The taste is lighter in my opinion and almost has a nice taste of freshness! For scrambled eggs in the morning I feel my daughter dislikes the taste of olive oil--so I have fully switched to using Coconut Oil to fry her eggs.
I also have a great recipe I would love to try out tomorrow for some sweet treats. Instead of the use of butter, I will see if I can substitute Coconut Oil. This coconut oil in comparison to other oils seems very fresh smelling and of a higher quality.
Here's a great video on it! Watching the process reminds me of my own family. Though we never made Coconut Oil from the coconuts we had--I remember collecting the meat out of the coconuts and drinking the "coconut juice" from harvested young green coconuts!

ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try coconut oil. It just sounds healthy! And there are s many uses. I can just never afford the stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe've been frying more fish and doing more stirfry... I think this would work with both! Also, I didn't know that refined coconut oil can end up being hydrogenated.. yuck! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeletei learned that you don't have to keep this in the fridge
