Dinengdeng... still boiling, watch it!

So, we're featuring a Northern Luzon dish once again - dinengdeng.  It's a combination of veggies, boiled in a bagoong broth.  While several combinations of veggies may be used, for me, malunggay leaves - to get the nod of the nutritionist,  and calabaza squash - to thicken the broth and for a little sweetness, are mainstays.  As usual, my family prefer it with more broth than what most Pinoys would commonly have it.  The dish is usually topped with grilled fish - bangus (milkfish) is best - but I prefer keeping the meat I used to prepare the broth... and then serving the grilled fish on the side.  Yum!  :)
