Good Day Steemians!

Today, I will be sharing with you a new recipe for a vegetable dish that we called here in the Philippines as "Pinakbet". https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeAPLWmU5NXMaw11miMiTEH46qaSUr7ZsdsxNwXLxeAyu/1.jpg Pinakbet is made from mixed vegetables sauteed in soy or fish sauce, which originated from the Ilocos Region of the Philippines. The name of the dish is derived from the Ilocano word Pinakebbet which means shrunk. It is called so because as the vegetables are heated or cooked, their water content drains that they begin to shrink.

So, let's get started! ____________

3. Add the vegetables to the pan. Sturdier ones such as Squash should go in first. 7 minutes should be enough to initially cook this. Then, add the remaining vegetables. Sequence them according to how long they take time to soften. Stir.
