Guisadong Kalabasa and Sitaw

Description:
This is becoming one of my favorite dishes. Although the girls are not so thrilled about it, we do ask them to eat even just a little. They prefer the kalabasa soup.

Ingredients:
squash (kalabasa) cut into square pieces
string beans (sitaw) cut into 1 inch pieces
one strip of liempo cut into small pieces
1 onion sliced
3-4 cloves garlic
2 tomato sliced
2-3 teaspoons of bagoong
patis

Directions:
Saute tomatoes, garlic then onions on a pan. Add pieces of liempo and little patis to taste. Stir til brown. Add bagoong and allow to simmer. Then add squash and string beans and mix occasionally til vegetables are cooked.

Another version would be to add coconut milk. Yummy too but a little more work doing that because I usually squeeze the coconut milk myself.
