CAMIAS

We have this big camias tree at the back of our house. Its been bearing fruits for years and years now and we haven’t really made use of. I tried making camias shake but we weren’t really crazy about it. My mom wanted me to make candies out of it, but I haven’t explored that recipe.

One recipe though that I found interesting was from one food blog too. She mentioned that when she was feeling lazy she just chop some camias and sauté them with garlic and onion, and viola a pretty good side dish for fried or grilled fish. I tried it and my sister loved it, so did my dad and mother-in-law.

My mom mentioned one day that her friend brought up that she likes cooking camias sauté with tomatoes. So what I did was sauté them with lots of garlic, onion and tomatoes. It was delicious! The tomato was able to neutralize the tartness of the camias fruit. Do try it!
