With pork and shrimp

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. fresh green beans slivered or French cut
  • ¼ cup bacon or salt pork cut in small pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic smashed and minced
  • ½ medium onion minced
  • 1 large Roma tomatoes diced in small pieces
  • A few small shrimp, shelled
  • 1 cup shrimp broth or 1 cube shrimp bouillon with 1 cup water
  • Salt, pepper

Cook bacon pieces or salt pork until fat renders oil.  Drop in the garlic and sauté with the bacon until fragrant then add the onions.  Sauté until transparent then add the tomatoes.  Stir and cook the tomatoes until soft.  Add the shrimp then the stock. 

Boil and add the green beans.  Add ½ tsp black pepper, simmer until green beans are crisp tender.  About 2 minutes.  Taste and add salt if needed. 

Fresh cubed pork with fat can also be used instead of the above bacon or salt pork. 

This is a nice ulam for lunch.  Complemented with tokwa or chicharones with vinegar, garlic, soy sauce or salt.
