Pardon me but I do not know the English name of this vegetable (??). I just know that they come from well, not so tall trees. My parents-in-law grow this at their backyard and everytime I go home to the Philippines, I always have this for breakfast. Weird huh! Well, breakfast to them is between 10:00 and 12:00. Okay, okay..it's brunch.
Nothing extra-ordinary in preparing this. I only make sure that I clean the flowers(??) first before I cook them in the pan with nothing but maybe about 1 tbsp of water. Not even. I only cook it for a short period of time making sure they don't shrink a lot. Once they're cooked, I mix about 1/2 of sliced tomatoes, about 1 tsp of sliced red onion, 1/2 tsp of bagoong sauce and 1 tsp of calamansi.
They say that it's good in bringing down your blood pressure if you have a hypertension, but with the bagoong, I am actually wondering how. You can't skip adding bagoong. Believe me, it's not as good without it.

Hi Ting.. looks healthy and sounds tasty with the bagoong.. but shame on me, i dont know what is katuray...:-(
Ting! Wherever did you find that "katuday nga agkiddakidday"? (he!he! remember the song?) My lola used to fix this all the time, but I haven't had it in years! Do they import it now?
Hey Grace, it must be just an ilocos region product. If you read JMom's comment, this actually has a song in Ilocano. I am not sure if they have this in the Southern Part of the Philippines.
Hi Schatzli, oh yes, even my kids say it that way. I get irritated sometimes because I say it properly and they can't. With your husband, it's alright because I mean, he's not a Filipino.
JMom, of course I remember that song. They are actually imported from Hawaii. They are expensive but I always tell myself that I can't eat my money..haha.
Hey..Ting-aling,
I miss having vegies everyday.. like i used too.. and i'm too lazy to cook them.. just for one person.. :(
I can't wait for Chloe to be able to eat real food.. that way.. i can share vegies with her.. ;)
Hello Mommy, haven't heard of that Katuray veggie before but looks delicious (for breakfast?). Well, pwede rin bang at anytime? hihihihi. Re breakfast at 10:00, it's not new to me dahil kagagaling ko lang sa atin and my parents are ganyan din. Kaya nga ako lumubo eh. I even asked them if hindi pa sila nagsawa ka kakain. Me and my family use to eat warm meal once a day lang.
