Ginataang Kalabasa with Pork Luncheon Meat Recipe
Make it meatier with SPAM!

Ginataang kalabasa is one of those Filipino recipes that is naturally vegetarian. We love the flavor of patis or bagoong alamang instead of salt to make it super tasty. However, for some, there's something missing. For those who miss the meat, this recipe will solve that craving.
This recipe takes this classic vegetarian dish and adds some intense meatiness with cubes of salty luncheon meat. We used SPAM for this ginataang kalabasa recipe but feel free to use your favorite brand of canned luncheon meat for this delicious dish.Â
