Munggo Gisado with Ham and Spinach

In a pot, boil monggo beans with water for about 20 minutes or until tender. Set aside.

In another pan, heat oil then sauté garlic, onion and tomatoes. Add ham and cook for a minute.

Add bouillon, boiled monggo beans and about 2 cups water. Simmer. Season with patis and some salt and pepper. Add in spinach leaves.

TIP: Monggo beans are available whole, cracked, or coarsely ground. If you prefer the cracked or ground beans, there is no need to cook them separately in water. You can add them to the sautéed mixture with enough water to cook them.
