8 1 cup of shelled roasted peanuts 1/2 cup of sugar 3/4 cup of milk 1/4 cup of sugar for the pastry board Peanut Squares Ingredients Equipment needed: You will need meat grinder, a saucepan, a spatula, a rolling pin, a knife and, a cooking spoon. Directions Put the peanuts through a meat grinder with a medium blade. Then place them in a saucepan with the 1/2 cup of sugar and the milk. Mix well. Place the peanut mixture over medium flame and cook, stir constantly, until the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves. Lower the flame and cook, stir often, until the mixture thickens. As the mixture gets very thick, stir continually, to prevent sticking. This will take around 15 minutes. When the mixture is so thick that you can see the bottom of the pan when you stir, remove from stove. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of sugar on the pastry board. Turn the peanut mixture out onto the sugar and flatten it out with a spatula. Allow it to cool so you can handle it. Next roll it out with a rolling pin until the mixture is about 1/4 inch thick. With a knife, cut the mixture into small squares or with a cookie cutter. Remove the cookies from the pastry board with a spatula. This recipe makes 3 1/2 to 4 dozen. 2 cups grated cassava (see note) 2 cups sugar 2 cups pandan water (see note) Grated coconut, for garnish Pich Pichi Ingredients Directions Combine all ingredients, except the coconut.

9 Cassava Cake This is a classic Filipino dessert enjoyed year round. Most of the ingredients can be found in an oriental store near you. I have found the most difficult ingredient to find is usually the coconut cream. If you can't find it don't worry. Simply use another can of coconut milk in it's place. Also it is easier to just buy the cassava already grated. It should be in the freezer section. You could cut the recipe in half but then you are left with 1/2 a can of everything. Or try making one thick cake. You'll have to cook much longer though. Careful, I'm not sure if it will all fit in one pan. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients Cake 2 Lbs Grated Cassava 1 14 oz. Can Sweetened Condensed Milk (Reserve 1/3 cup for Topping) 1 12 oz. Can Evaporated Milk 1 14 oz. Can Coconut Milk (Reserve 1/3 cup for Topping) 1 13 oz. Can Coconut Cream (Reserve 1/3 cup for Topping) 2/3 Cup Sugar 3 Eggs plus 3 Egg Whites 1 Cup Grated Coconut Topping 3 Egg Yokes 1/3 Cup Reserved Sweetened Condensed Milk 1/3 Cup Reserved Coconut Milk 1/3 Cup Reserved Coconut Cream Directions Preheat oven to 325 f. In large mixing bowl combine cake ingredients. Mix well. Pour equally into two large greased rectangular pans. Bake until top is no longer liquid (approximately 30 minutes). Mix topping ingredients well and spread evenly on the two cakes. Bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes completely. Slice each cake into 24 equal squares. Courtesy of Jeff Palazzo

Cooking Tip: To make it healthy and if you have the time, cook the papaitan long before you intend to serve. Let it cool, then refrigerate. All the fat will solidify, and you can easily scrape it from the surface. The taste will not change, it will even improve as the meat and all the condiments will have blended so well in the broth already. Calamansi juice will further enhance the taste. And if you want a stronger pepper aroma but not the spice, put some chopped siling haba.
