Dinengdeng with Inihaw na Isda, Inihaw na Samaral
. Dinengdeng is a simple Ilocano boiled vegetable with bagoong na isda dish. It is usually made up of a medley of garden vegetables that are in season. Kinds of vegetables are usually the vegetables mentioned on the folk song Bahay Kubo, no Baguio vegetables, like cabbage, carrots, coolly flower, ect. The combination of vegetables is limitless, use any vegetables that are available at the time of cooking.

Dinengdeng with Inihaw na Isda Recipe

Dinengdeng is usually topped with grilled fish, or sometimes fried fish, but mostly grilled fish. It is a healthy vegetable dish, except perhaps for the extra salty bagoong which Ilocano love. 

The recipe below is just a guide, there are no hard rules on the quantity and type of vegetables used. The grilled fish topping may not be the grilled samaral on the recipe, any inihaw na isda is suitable. 

Here is the recipe of my Dinengdeng with Inihaw na Isda, Inihaw na Samaral.
