Ginat-an (Good Friday Food)

in blurtchef •  4 years ago 

Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well!

Today,I cooked ginat-an. It's a Filipino culture that ginat-an is a food being served during Good Friday.

We called it ginat-an in our locality. In Bisaya, it is called binignit. Ginat-an is a glutinous dessert. I made my own version of ginat-an.

Here are the ingredients:

  • 1/2 kg glutinous rice
  • 3/4 kg brown sugar
  • 1 kg sliced banana saba
  • 1 kg sliced sweet potato
  • 1 kg grated cassava balls
  • 1/4 kg sliced cassava
  • 1/2 kg sliced bisol
  • 1 kg sliced gabi
  • 1/4 kg sago
  • 2 tbsp vanilla essence
  • 1 cup pure coconut milk
  • 3 pitcher water for a mixture of coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp salt

Procedures:

  • Clean, peel and slice the 1kg banana saba, 1kg sweet potatoes, 1/4kg cassava, bisol and gabi.
  • Clean, peel, grate the 1kg cassava. Add 1/4 cup of sugar, mix well and make cassava balls.
  • Wash and cook the sago in a little pot.
  • For the grated coconut squeeze first without adding water to get the pure coconut milk. For the second squeeze, add 3 pitchers of water for a coconut mixture as soup in making ginat-an.
  • Wash the glutinous rice.

  • By the way, I am cooking using fire woods. Coz, it is more tastier if ginat-an is cook using firewoods. 😃
  • When the firewoods and big pot with a mixture of coconut milk is ready, we are ready to cook. 😃
  • Just add together the glutinous rice, sliced sweet potatoes, sliced cassava, sliced bisol and sliced gabi.
  • When it boils, stir the mixture.
  • Add the sugar, vanilla essence and salt. Mix well.
  • Add cassava balls, sliced banana saba and cooked sago. Do not mix. Cover the pot and let it boil.
  • When it boils, stir well.
  • Add the pure coconut milk. Mix well.

  • Let it cook and stir continuously.
  • Taste if all ingredients are cook already. 😃
  • When it's already cooked, remove from fire. Serve while hot. 😋

Actually, ginat-an is best served either hot or cold. 😋

I am selling dishes at a very affordable price. But, today's food is not for sale. I shared it to the workers next house. 😃

Have a Blessed Good Friday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
