pyuto

♥ this is pyuto as ate lalah call it. it is a staple in tausug’s (one of the muslim tribes in philippines) table.  as i know, they serve this instead of rice.

the recipe calls for grated cassava and grated coconut. the water from the grated cassava is then squeezed for it to become dry. then the coconut is mixed and they will then steam it.

after steaming, it will be rolled into like a log and cut it into serving pieces. then topped with grated coconut.

this is good along with inihaw na isda and with ate lalah’s talong salad and kinilaw.

i haven’t made this actually myself but as i was helping her rolling the pyuto, it popped into my mind that inshaALLAH one day i’m going to make this for someone. i wonder if they have ever tasted this.

we do have the sweet version of this but in our place, we haven’t tried to eat it with inihaw na isda or any vian at all.

you may want to try it at home!
