Title: Ampalaya / Bitter Gourd a la Marketman
Post by: lamay on March 07, 2008, 07:18:19 AM
The key to this dish is to do it quick, to do it on a hot burner and not to abuse the ingredients. The outcome? A brilliantly appetizing dish with a pleasant and bearable bitterness. Great with a bowl of steamed rice or as a side dish to a richer and fancier main course, this is something I can actually handle. One downside of the blanching is a slightly watery finished dish. I will have to try this with unblanched ampalaya to see if that results in a dryer but less green dish. This can also be done without the beef if you want a vegetarian dish.

his first wife jumped to her death because of fear from the enemies of their kingdom when it was attacked while vlad the impaler was away.  his wife was known to be a woman of innocence and beauty who bore a heart of gold.  vlad was so heart broken that he didn't marry for the longest until he met his second wife.  and one of their two sons was named vlad dracula. ;) :) 8)
