    Pinakbet is a Filipino vegetable dish that originated in the northern regions of the Philippines, particularly in the Ilocos region. Its history can be traced back to the pre-colonial era, when indigenous people in the Philippines cultivated a variety of vegetables for their diet.

    The dish’s name “pinakbet” is derived from the Ilocano word “pinakebbet,” which means “shrunk” or “shrivelled.” This refers to the cooking process of the vegetables, which involves sautéing and simmering until they are reduced in size.

    Traditionally, pinakbet is made with a variety of vegetables such as bitter melon, eggplant, tomato, okra, string beans, and squash. The vegetables are sautéed in garlic and onions, and then simmered in a sauce made of bagoong or fermented fish paste. The dish can also include pork, beef, or shrimp, depending on the region and the cook’s preference.

    Pinakbet has become a beloved dish in the Philippines and is often served with rice. It is also a popular dish for special occasions and celebrations, such as fiestas and family gatherings. Its simple and nutritious ingredients reflect the Philippines’ rich agricultural heritage and the importance of vegetables in the Filipino diet.

    Pinakbet is a popular Filipino dish typically coming from Ilocano Philippines. Pinakbet or pakbet is a recipe made of Filipino vegetables and popular among vegetarian Filipinos. The unique flavor of ampalaya (bitter gourd) and bagoong (shrimp paste) and other vegetables make his dish surely a remarkable delicious dish.

    In this Pinakbet recipe we added some sliced pork. This Ingredient should, of course, be left out if you want to make this a vegetarian dish. Because I’m a font of adding unfamiliar flavors (including meat) I’ve added it to this Filipino recipe.
