Still missing home and all the delicious Filipino dishes you enjoy with your family back in the Philippines? Why not cook your family’s favorite Filipino dishes wherever you are in the world?
You may want to get ideas from one of the OG Filipino movie and TV heartthrobs and favorite leading man from back when you lived in the Philippines, Richard Gomez, who shares with us below his own recipes for Lengua Estofado and another rice dish you may want to recreate in your own kitchen.
After sharing with you yesterday actress and celebrity mom Marjorie Barretto’s own delightful recipes, here are a couple more celebrity recipes made with Doña Elena Olive Oil that your family will surely enjoy, just as Goma’s wife Lucy and daughter Juliana do.
Festive Delight
Transform your dining table into a festive Filipino feast with Richard’s version of Lengua Estofado, where the rich and tender ox tongue is simmered to perfection in a savory tomato sauce infused with Doña Elena Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Ideal for special occasions or as a celebratory centerpiece, this Lengua Estofado is a culinary masterpiece that combines traditional Filipino flavors with the wholesome goodness of Doña Elena’s finest olive oil, Doña Elena Diced Tomatoes, and Doña Elena Pitted Green Olives.
Doña Elena Extra Virgin Olive Oil is extracted from high quality picual and hojiblanca olives, which lend a rich taste and aroma to your dishes.
Simple is Good
Want to cook something simpler? You can’t go wrong with Richard’s simple and flavorful One-Pot Chicken And Rice recipe, which is not only easy to prepare but also brimming with health benefits from the Doña Elena Pure Olive Oil he used, such as antioxidants and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Ideal for everyday cooking, this olive oil variant is a blend of virgin olive oil and refined olive oil that offers a balanced flavor and higher smoke point for versatile cooking, which makes it great or sautéing, light frying, and cooking this one-pot dish. It’s the perfect meal for a family Sunday lunch or a cozy dinner.
Richard Gomez reminds us that through cooking, you can bring heartwarming memories of the motherland to the dining table, wherever you are in the world. With Doña Elena Olive Oil, every meal becomes an opportunity to create something extraordinary for 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.
