Tinola sa Kalabasa

Hi Steemit friends!
Today, I would like to share with you our new favorite menu - Tinolang Manok sa Kalabasa and How to prepare it.

Tinolang Manok or chicken tinola is one of the known dish in Philippines. It's a soup-based chicken with green papaya and Siling - labuyo leaves. Sometimes they prefer sayote instead of green papaya

But today, instead of using green papaya or sayote. I used to cook chicken tinola with kalabasa (squash). I heard that this is the favorite menu of our national hero Gat. Jose Rizal.
