Are you missing home and all the delicious dishes you enjoy with your family back in the Philippines? There’s no better way to bring that memory of home to wherever you are in the world than by recreating the comforting flavors of classic family recipes and gathering around the table to savor them with loved ones abroad.
Marjorie Barretto—actress and celebrity mom of Dani, Claudia, Leon, and Julia Barretto—shared some delightful recipes straight from her kitchen that you might want to replicate and enjoy with your own family wherever you’re based. These nourishing recipes call for rich and hearty ingredients including Doña Elena Pure Olive Oil.
Rice to the Occasion
In a rush to make a mid-week dinner or have unexpected guests call in? All you need is cold leftover rice and pantry staples like shrimp, eggs, frozen vegetables, and Doña Elena Pure Olive Oil, which is ideal for everyday cooking. Marjorie’s simple yet satisfying Shrimp Fried Rice is easy to make and sure to be on repeat in your menu rotation. Watch how she does it below:
A Crowd Favorite
Perfect for any occasion that calls for something more special, Marjorie’s Chicken Cordon Bleu stands out. She uses tender chicken breasts wrapped with a savory combination of ham and cheese, all coated with a golden breadcrumb crust. This classic dish is elevated by the use of Doña Elena Pomace Olive Oil, which is ideal for frying, as it not only adds a subtle richness to the chicken but also brings with it several health benefits, including antioxidants and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Marjorie Barretto reminds us that cooking is an art form, a means of expression that brings heartwarming memories of home to the dining table, wherever you are in the world. With Doña Elena Olive Oil, every meal becomes an opportunity to create something extraordinary that will impress family and friends. If it’s not available where you’re based, it would be good to shop some on your next visit home or ask relatives in the Philippines to send you some.
