Ginataang Langka
Ginataang Langka refers to unripe jackfruit cooked in coconut milk. This ginataang langka recipe is a must try. Although jackfruits are considered fruits, unripe ones have the same attributes as vegetables; this was the reason why jackfruit in this recipe is treated as such. As for the flavor, much of it comes from the salted dried fish (locally known as daing)
