Paksiw na Bangus (Milkfish in Vinegar)
I bought ten whole bangus from the market 2 weeks ago, with plans of turning them into relyenong bangus (stuffed milkfish) for a party at work. Sometimes, not all intentions come into fruition. I wanted to impress but I was not willing to slave on the bloody work of pounding, deboning, stuffing, stitching, and frying the fish! So, the bangus ended up up as paksiw for lunch today.
Makes 4 Servings
1 whole bangus, sliced into 4-5 steaks
1 eggplant, sliced
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup vinegar
1 cup water
1 green chili pepper
2 tbsps vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
Layer all ingredients in a pot. Allow to simmer uncovered, until fish is cooked and vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. When juice is reduced, add vegetable oil.
