It’s meatless Friday again here in Pinay in Texas Cooking Corner! Today, I’ll share with you a dish called Ginataang Tilapia (Tilapia in Coconut Milk).
In the Philippines, ginataan is what you call anything cooked with gata or coconut milk. I've featured a ginataan recipe before which is Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw (Squash and String Beans in Coconut Milk). Just like that vegetable dish, ginataang tilapia is a sure hit to both kids and adults in the Philippines. The creamy coconut milk and the flavors of all the ingredients combined together make this dish so appealing to anyone's taste buds! Plus it's very easy to prepare and cook! Give it a try!
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: ~30 minutes Servings: 4-6
