Finally found time to read through your archives. Wish I could do what you do all day.
We cook sigarilyas with shrimp in gata, a bit like sitaw in gata. If you keep the sigrailyas crunchy, it’s really good.

My mom prepares sigarilyas so many different ways. Steamed or boiled, halves then cut thinly and mixed with other veggies for salad. Also ginataan, pinakbet or simply boiled with your choice of sawsawan. Dad however makes a really good adobong sigarilyas but he picks the young ones for that, and usually slices them thinly to cook well.
We grew them in the backyard and I used to love the smell of a dried sigarilyas and when you shake them you could hear the seeds rattling inside. *giggles*

My dad also cooks pinakbet w/ sigarilyas. I would love to try making a sigarilyas salad(as mentioned numerous times above).
