WHB# 344 Sinantolan

 When our family transferred to Pila, Laguna, I tasted new dishes.
There's sinampalukan (tamarind based dish) and kinamatisan
(tomato-based dish). There is also Sinantolan(Santol dish),
a great side dish to fried and grilled foods.

Santol (Sandoricum koetiape), also known as wild mangosteen,
is usually eaten ripe. The fruit is sour-sweet with a pleasant tart
taste. There are varieties that are very sour even when ripe.
These varieties are good with sinantolan dish.

Ingredients
  • 15 pcs Santol
  • 1 Cup coconut cream
  • 2 Cups coconut milk
  • 3 pcs Siling Haba (finger Chillies)
  • 3 to 4 TBSP Alamang (fermented tiny shrimps or krill)
  • 4 cloves Garlic (crushed)
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
Cooking Directions
  1. Cut Santol in half and remove seeds. Prepare a bowl with water
  2. and grate santol pulp on it using a kudkuran (a bench coconut grater).
  3. If you don't have a kudkuran, you can peel off the skin of the santol,
  4. remove the seeds and grate in a food processor adding a little amount
  5. of water. Squeze grated pulp to remove the juice. This is done to 
  6. remove the "tart" taste.

  8. stirring occasionally. When the mixture is almost dry, add the coconut
  9. cream and simmer until oil appears on the side of the pan.
