Dear steemit friends, on my previous blog we talk about a waray-waray delicacy which is the moron. As I observed the post received more than 20 dollars, so I jumped to the conclusion that some readers are interested in this topic. Because of this I felt motivated and inspired to continue posting and promoting our culture.

Binagol is another waraynon’s pride. It is a popular delicacy produced by the municipality of Dagami, Leyte. The term ‘’Binagol came from a root word ‘’bagol’’ which means coconut shell. This delicacy is from shredded Talyan – a root crop species similar to Gabi mixed with egg, butter, sugar, coconut milk, and nuts. This mixture is being cooked and put inside the polished coconut shell and will be wrap uniquely with banana leaves and nylon, making it presentable to serve.

1. On a pan, combine the shredded Taro, sugar and coconut milk.
2. Cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes while continuously stirring.
3. Reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Add the condensed milk
5. Cook for another 20 minutes and stir it continuously
6. Fill the polished coconut shell with mixture and make a well in the center
7. Fill the well with raw egg yolks and cover the top with mixture, spreading it smoothly
8. Cover the filled coconut shells with two layers banana leaves and tie it securely with nylon.
9. Place in a steamer and cook for another 30 minutes.

If you don’t have time to cook, this Binagol are available in Tacloban Pasalubong Center. You can approach me if you are interested in ordering. I can buy it for you and send it through LBC. The price of one piece Binagol is 50 pesos or $1.
