One of the easiest and healthiest ulam to prepare is this PINAPUTOK NA TILAPIA.
There are many ways to prepare Pinaputok na Tilapia. Some wrap it in banana leaves and fry it in oil. Some wraps it in banana leaves and prefers to grill it. I think baking it in the oven is the easiest way.
The term “Pinaputok” means “to burst”, it refers to the manner in which the tilapia is prepared — bursting with filling inside which makes it flavorful. I prefer filling it with a combination of white onion, red, onion,tomato, and ginger. I think the combination of two kinds of onions make it flavorful.
We had this Pinaputok na Tilapia over the weekend and we paired it with Steamed Okra and Steamed Talbos ng Kamote (Camote Tops) dipped in bagoong (shrimp paste).
We also paired it with this Tinolang Tahong.
