My little jungle in my back yard was disappear.
The vines have unloaded after the green caterpillars attacked sporadically.
I have been missing so many greens from those vines
And also this meal... Buntil daun pare (rolled bitter gourd leaves with anchovy and grated coconut).
I did the same way such as on cooking Buntil Daun Labu.
The taste was almost similar, but such as the name, the leaves were slightly bitter and tender.
Hmmm... delicious...

Salam Endah,
ReplyDeleteBaru I tau daun buah peria boleh di makan.
Salam Honey,
DeleteYa, disinipun tak banyak yang mengkonsumsi. Banyak yang tak tahu.
That has to be a bundle of flavor! We have wasps that catch and eat green caterpillars but they sting if disturbed. I left a nest of them at the entrance of the garden this year.
ReplyDeleteI think you did the right way. We need natural predator to keep our garden save naturally.
DeleteThose neat little packages of green look delicious, Endah! I can imagine they must hold plenty of wonderful flavour, as well as looking pretty on the plate.

Thank you, Karen. This is one of my favorite dish.
DeleteMmmm, they look delicious, over here there is a similar dish made with vine leaves which you can fill with different kind of filling.
ReplyDeleteWow sounds so interesting! I think I will try it someday with another filling. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteHere is a recipe for you, but there are many ways to make this traditional dish :-)

Hmm…I continued to look for recipes!
DeleteThe one I posted above looked so bland, here is one more like I used to make them. Although it must be more than 20 years since last time I made any ‘Dolmades’. I didn’t used to use cinnamon in mine, but I used cardamom and saffron – or just turmeric if I didn’t have any saffron. And I also added some mild chilli pepper for a bit of heat. Have fun trying it out :-)
