Deliciously Good!

It is my pleasure to share with you all this humble recipe that I put together and am currently snacking on. Forgive me for being subjective, but it is now my favorite simple joy of all time, hands down. It was born last year, when I was racking my brain trying to think of a fast, easy, and absolutely healthy bite. I introduced it to my mom last Christmas and since it was my own creation, it wasn’t named yet. Funnily enough, we decided to officially call it 'Pidada à la mode', our laughable equation of the main ingredient's local name, I guess with a French twist..♥ 

 

Here you go :) 

Camote tops (sweet potato tops)

washed clean, the amount depending on how much you love to munch on it)

3-4 bell peppers/sweet peppers, halved or cut into quarters

               (local name: ‘pidada’) /pi-dä-d/

(red bell peppers have more vitamins and nutrients)

A small bunch of scallions/spring onions, diced 

Tuna flakes in vegetable oil

Lots of pepper, freshly ground

Pour the tuna flakes with its oil in a pan. When it starts to boil on the sides, add the bell pepper slices. They should be lightly cooked. Next, add the freshly ground pepper evenly by stirring a little each time you add. Finally, add the scallions and the camote tops. When they start to wilt (and a bit crunchy when eaten), remove from heat. Eat as a snack or as a rice topping. Enjoy!

[This can also be microwaved. I put together the tuna, bell pepper, and the ground pepper in one short minute burst. Then I add the scallions and the camote tops and give them a 1-2 minute spin. Since microwaves tend to heat food unevenly, I divide this time into 1 minute intervals to make sure the scallions and tops are not wilted.]
