Morisqueta Recipes

FILIPINO FRIED RICE (MORISQUETA TOSTADA)

Steps:

• In a hot pan, pour the oil, and make an omelet. Slice in thin shreds then set aside.
• In the same pan, fry Chinese sausages until crisp. Reduce the oil in half (or less if you prefer).
• Saute garlic, onion, and rice. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked and evenly coated with soy sauce.
• Garnish with scrambled egg shreds and green onions.

MORISQUETA CON CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat the lard or oil in a large frying pan.
• Crumble chorizo into the hot oil and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is well heated through and beginning to fry.
• Remove with slotted spoon and set aside.
• Drain all but 3 tablespoons of the oil.
• Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute or until transparent but not browned.
• Add the chopped tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium high heat until reduced, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the chorizo and the rice.
• Add salt to taste.
• Continue to cook, turning the rice over carefully, until the rice is well heated through and all of the flavors are combined.
• Serve hot.

MORISQUETA

Steps:

• 1. For Tomato Sauce: Add all ingredients to a blender or chopper and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• 2. Add half the sauce to a saucepan or skillet and cook sauce over medium heat for 10 minutes. Lower heat if sauce reduces to quickly.
• 3. Add beans to sauce and stir. Cook for another 5 minutes.
• 4. Prepare Morisqueta for Serving: Prepare individual rice plates and top with beans, a few tablespoons of reserved tomato sauce, then shredded cabbage, crumbled queso fresco, Mexican crema, chopped cilantro and a lime wedge. Sprinkle lime juice over rice. Or serve rice buffet style on a large platter or plate with all the toppings and have everyone take their own portion of rice. Serve lime wedges on the side in a separate bowl so each person can take a sliver and sprinkle over rice.
