Gather up the gang because we are making the awesome, the tasty, and the much-loved sinigang! But instead of adding milk fish like how it's usually done in most Filipino households, experiment by adding the meaty Mackerel to this dish. Our signature Mackerel Sinigang can serve up to 8 very hungry people, so you better get this cooking started!

Ingredients:

    100g Fresh tamarind (sampalok)
    2 cups Water
    2 cans x425g SABA Mackerel in Natural Oil
    1.5 Liters Water
    1 pc Tomato, sliced 
    1 pc Onion, sliced
    1 pc Gabi, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
    2 pcs Green chili peppers (siling pangsigang), sliced into two
    1 pc, small Radish, sliced 
    7 pcs String beans, cut into 2-inch sticks
    4 pcs Okra, sliced into 2
    1 pc Eggplant, sliced 
    1 bundle Swamp cabbage tops (talbos ng kangkong)
    2 tsp Salt, or to taste

Procedure:

    1. To prepare sampalok extract, boil sampalok in water until tender. Allow to cool then mash the sampalok and strain. Reserve sampalok extract. Set aside.
    2. Open the can of SABA Mackerel in Natural Oil. Drain and reserve the brine. Transfer mackerel in a bowl. Set aside.
    3. In a pot, combine water, reserved brine, tomato, and onion in a large stockpot. Bring to boil.
    4. Add sampalok extract, mackerel cutlets, gabi, green chili, radish, string beans, okra and eggplants. Boil vegetables until half-cooked.
    5. Add kangkong tops and boil for another 1-2 minutes. Season with salt.        
    6. Divide among serving bowls. Serve hot.
