Sauteed Crabs

My husband wanted to eat the seafood again, we went to the market and bought 1/2 kilo of crabs. I want to eat crab with coco milk but hubby told me that sauteed crab is better, cheaper and easy to cook. So, we just bought onion leaves, garlic and margarine for the recipe. The procedure is simple. In a skillet, hubby melted the butter and added the garlic and onion leaves. When the garlic is already toasted, he added the cleaned crabs, salt and magic sarap. After simmered for 8 minutes here it is:

Pork belly is a boneless cut of fatty meat derived from the belly of a pig. It is good to cook because it is boneless. My hubby bought 1/4 kilo of it, marinated in salt and pepper and fried. Here it is:

Andok's Porkcharap is very delicious, crispy and tasty. The gravy is also yummy.We bought a couple of it for 38.00 pesos each. It was our viand last night since we already had our valentine lunch date yesterday.

Salami

I just saw this in the market, i never tried this one before so i bought one pack. I fried it and made a viand for breakfast. It taste like meat loaf but meat loaf is more salty than this one. Meat loaf is soft and salami is not.

salami

Salami is cured sausage, fermented and air-dried meat, originating from one of a variety of animals. It has been popular among Southern European peasants. The word salami, as currently used in English, is actually the plural form of the Italian salame. The word originates from the word Sale (salt) with a termination -ame used in Italian as an indicator of collective nouns.

A traditional salame is made from pork, chopped beef, venison, poultry, and horse.

Additional ingredients may include: salt, spices (usually white pepper) garlic minced, fat wine, various herbs, and vinegar.
