I think the priniciple behind having ginisang munggo on Fridays is the abstinence from meat during the Fridays of Lent that Catholic Filipinos observe. Ginisang munggo in its simplest form is mainly a vegetable dish. Take out the pork fat, etc. and it’s a hearty yet “meat-less” dish to serve to abstaining family members.

But then again, this is just what I think. Hehe.

munggo with dahon ng ampalaya is the best & also tinapa,liempo & chicharon if dahon ng ampalaya is not available ampalaya tidbits is also delicious add on to our ginisang munggo.

After reading some of the comments, I wonder what could be the story behind serving ginisang monggo on Fridays? The canteen in our office does that too. Don’t get me wrong, I love ginisang monggo with lots talbos ng ampalaya, that’s why I always look forward to having lunch at our canteen every Firday :)

Ginisang munggo partner with paksiw na bangus (if not,piniritong bangus or daing na bangus). Piniritong GG is also a good partner.

Kapampangan mash boiled munggo in bilao sometimes kinakatas sa katsa bago igisa.

What I do not understand is why ginisang munggo on Fridays?

tiffy, I have never tried it with dahon ng sili, but I suppose it would work. Different provinces include different kinds of leaves, so it isn’t a highly unusual suggestion…

Ginisang monggo, thats my favorite dish with malunggay leaves and chicharon. samahan mo pa ng pritong isda, yummy. This dish is my husband favorite too but I have to put separate for him with shrimp lang as baboy is prohibited for arab.
