pinakbet
It doesnt really matter how you cook Pinakbet or what the ingredients are. All that matters is that it's an Ilocano pride we cant resist. Proud to be an Ilocana.

Pakbet
Ilocano rin ako at kinatandaan ko na ang pagluluto ng pinakbet. Tubong Ilocos Norte ako pero natikman ko na rin ang luto ng kalapit bayan ng Ilocos Sur, Abra, Apayao, at Kagayan. Nadaluhan ko rin ang Pinakbet Festibal ng Agoo, La Union at natikman ko na rin ang pakbet ng mga Tagalog. Payo ko lang ay mas masarap pa rin ang pinakbet pagka may squash at ginigisa talaga ang karne sa sibuyas at bawamg para masarap. Masarap nga rin pagka igisa mo rin ng kunti ang squash. There is no such thing as pinakebbet (I don't believe pinakbet was derived from this word) or ginisang gulay but just follow this recipe and you'll be fine. Nasa Amerika na ako pero nagluluto at kumakain pa rin ako ng pinakbet dahil gusto yan ng aking mga apo.

the reai pinakbet
Sa akin pong kaalaman ang pinakbet ay hindi pinaghalohalong gulay,either talong,amplaya or sili na hindi maanghang, ito'y maluluto lamang sa pamamagitan ng bagoong at ibang pang ingridients,kaunti lamang ang magiging sabaw nito.kasi yong nasa picture,yon ay ginisang dinengdeng.Ako po ay 100% na ilokano,na ang lola ko ay taga ilocos at lolo ko ay taga Abra,pero tumira kami sa Cagayan Valley...ang gulo noh...marami sa pa atin ang di nakakaalam ang tunay na pag luluto ng pinakbet...

pinakbet
tama ka,jomar, pinakbet means pinakebbet,
that's why walang kalabasa,madi ag-kebbet ti karabasa(bunga)talbos(ubbot) o bulaklak(sabong)pwede,lahat ng gulay pwedeng ihalo.
that's how we cook in batac,ilocos norte.

my dad being an ilocano. the pakbet i knew is not sauteed in oil. you just have to layer all the ingredients together. the kamatis will give the water/soup that the pakbet needs.our meal is never complete without it yumyum :):-P

the pinakbet i grew up with in ilocos and i am proud i am from ilocos sur, this is how we do it there.

First, we boil pork (liempo) cut into pcs in small amount of water until it dries up and fat comes out, then we saute garlic in it and it is set aside, then we will mixed all the ingredients in one clay pot / casserole (tomato,onion,ginger,eggplant,okra,string beans,ampalaya then the suated garlic with pork is put on top together with fish bagoong) then add a little bit of water. then put to boil then it is not stirred but hence it is stirred by shaking the pot securing the contents inside until its properly mixed.

And FYI "pinakbet" itself means "pinakebbet" which in english means "shrunken" vegetables. And this my friends is the proper way to cook pakbet.
