Ginataang Seafoods
Ingredients:
• 1 kg mussels
• 1 kg crabs
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup coconut cream (optional, for a thicker sauce)
• 2 stalks lemongrass
• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 medium onion (sliced)
• 2 long green chilies (optional, for mild spice)
• 1-2 cups water (adjust as needed)
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Vegetables like squash or string beans

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Aromatics:
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
• Sauté garlic, onion, and ginger until fragrant.
2. Add the Lemongrass:
• Toss in the lemongrass and stir for 1-2 minutes to release its aroma.
3. Cook the Seafood:
• Add the crabs first and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the mussels and stir.
4. Simmer in Coconut Milk:
• Pour in the coconut milk and water. Let it simmer gently over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until the mussels open and the crabs turn bright orange.
5. Add Coconut Cream (if using):
• Stir in the coconut cream for a richer, creamier sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Season and Adjust:
• Add salt and pepper to taste. You can add the green chilies at this stage if you want a hint of spice.
7. Serve:
• Remove from heat and serve hot with steamed rice.
