baked tahong

hello miss diane :). here's the recipe of baked tahong as requested. sorry i can't provide you with exact measurements.



ingredients:
tahong
garlic (minced)
butter (melted)
cheese
parsely (optional)
evaporated milk (optional)

procedure:
1. steam tahong until the shells open and the meat is cooked. do not put anything on the pan, just the tahong. the mussels are usually salty already.
2. while doing that you can mince the garlic, and chop the parsely. mix them with the melted butter and pour in the milk. do not put a lot of milk, just enought to make the mixture appear hazy. :).
3. when the tahong is cooked, remove one of the shells. retain the side where the tahong is attached. remember to remove also the hairy thing that sticks out of the tahong.
4. in a container, align the mussels for baking. pour the butter mixture on each tahong and top with cheese slices.
5. bake until cheese melts. :)
6. serve. :)
