Ginataang tulingan is made with local tulingan fish or skipjack tuna and coconut milk. It is stewed with vegetables such as string beans or eggplant. This can be cooked, in many different ways such as simply boiling the fish with coconut milk. In this recipe, we sear the fish first before adding the seasonings as that is what learned from my family. This method is optional, however. This is a simple lutong bahay. It is easy to make and a must try. This dish is perfect served with siling labuyo and patis dipping sauce on the side. Let me know what you think.
