- Add the onion to the pan and sauté until translucent. Toss in garlic and cook until aromatic. Add the tomato sauce, soy sauce, patis, potato and water.
- Bring to a boil then lower heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes then add the U.S. green peas and raisins. Simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes then season with salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat.
- To serve, put rice on a plate. Top with egg. Put some sautéed beef mixture and fried bananas on the plate. Serve immediately.
Chef’s Notes:
- You may use any leftover meat mixture as stuffing for Tortang Talong.
- You can also add some beaten eggs to the leftover meat mixture and cook it like a frittata, or as filling for an omelet.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
