Lawot Lawot is a Cebuano dish of mixed vegetables in a viscous broth made with coconut milk, the broth is usually thickened by vegetables like okra, loofa (patola) and other slimy leafy vegetables. Think of it as a variation of pinakbet but cooked with coconut milk and like the pinakbet it is one delicious dish, the juices of vegetables used in this dish creates a marriage of amazing flavours complementing each other, add to that the creamy coconut milk and salty fermented shrimp, it’s a dish every Filipino vegetable lover would easily like.

This is not for everyone especially non-Filipinos as it has a funny broth consistency because of the slimy vegetables used, but for us the slimier it is the better. And like other Filipino vegetable recipes this is best enjoyed with a grilled meats or fish.
