Ingredient of the Day - Adlai by Dissident Movement

INGREDIENT OF THE DAY | ADLAI |

Adlai is a grain that hails from Zamboanga and Northern Mindanao. It looks very similar to rice, it’s more chewy, and has a mild nutty flavor. It’s comparable to cooked white corn in texture and taste but it’s much smaller.

We decided to try and cook this in two ways, perfect for a rainy breakfast morning!

ADLAI - great whole grain alternative because it is a great source of energy, complex carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber, and minerals such as phosphorus, niacin, riboflavin, and thiamine. Also, it has a low glycemic index. - https://www.humblemarket.ph/adlai-the-healthier-alternative-to-rice-its-nutritive-value-and-uses/#:~:text=Adlai%20is%20a%20great%20whole,on%20how%20to%20eat%20adlai.

MADE by Lucky Lucy by Dissident Movement

We've been working on this series for quite some time now. It's finally going to be released and we are so excited for you all to watch it!

MADE is a concept show that we produced right at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was born from:

(1) our team now had freed up a bit to commit some time to do something original!

(2) we wanted to offer our services to help blooming businesses during these difficult time. And what better way to do it than to offer their potential customers something that wasn't just substantial information but also a beautiful visual representation of their product/service/business

(3) as a small player in the video production industry ourselves. we really wanted to create a marketing initiative that showcased our team's capabilities.

...So here it is! We hope that you all appreciate and enjoy watching just as much as we had fun making it! We will be releasing the episodes on our microsite (just click on the link in our bio) so do watch out for announcements on premier dates!

DSCF1081.jpg

“Best grilled cheese I’ve ever made”

Trissy Gopez, Executive Producer, Dissident Inc.

We started this blog with the intention of just constantly churning out photo and video content to share with our potential viewers/readers. We ended up enjoying it so much that it has made us scour the www to find THE best recipes using new products available in the market. Not only does it help us get to our goal, but it also helps us spread the word and give support to these small businesses (like us!) out there.

Okay, so enough babbling and let’s get down to business!

Ingredients (serves 2)

  • 4 thick slices of bread. We used milk bread in ours

  • Mayonnaise for thinly spreading. We used japanese mayo

  • 6oz grated Pecorino cheese

  • 3oz cheddar cheese

  • 2 slices cream cheese

  • 1 white onion, cut into rings

  • pinch of dried thyme

  • pinch of dried rosemary

  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar

  • salt & pepper to taste

  • 1 1/2 tbsp butter

  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Saute the onions in the olive oil and butter. Add thyme, rosemary, salt & pepper and caramelize (around 10min)

  2. Add brown sugar into the onions and cook for 1min. Put in a plate and set aside

  3. Put a thin layer of mayonnaise on each pc of bread

  4. In the same skillet used to cook the onions, add butter pinch of rosemary & thyme and place the slices of bread, mayonnaise side down.

  5. Put the cheese on top of the bread and once it starts to melt, put in the caramelized onions from earlier.

  6. Check the underside of your bread to see if the bread is to your doneness and sandwich the two together.

  7. Make sure to cook on low heat to avoid burning of the bread.

VOILA! serve & enjoy!
