Vegan Liempo Surprise

Good afternoon Hiveans! I recently bought a home-made vegan liempo from my friend and caterer, Ging (Mary Gracery on facebook if ever you are in Metro Manila and want to taste her super delicious creations).

So today, I cooked up a dish featuring her #vegan liempo, which is unbelievable tasty. I used available pantry veggies to complement this meat-substitute and just chill afterwards with some #coffee and good company.

For the veggies, I used squash, pechay, cabbage, tomatoes; all rich in vitamins and minerals.

To end, cooking is a journey best shared with other people. To see others enjoying the food and providing a venue to be with family and friends makes the journey all the more special. So, share a hot meal with a friend today.
