Hello, my hive friends!!!
Hope you are in good condition right now. Well, I'm inspired to share with you one of my family's favorite dishes. When I was young, my father used to plant eggplant in our backyard and so whenever we don't have anything to be paired with our bugas mais (rice corn) we have to harvest some of our eggplants in our backyard, and then my mother will cook it on her specialty which is known on its name Tortang Talong ( Eggplant Omelette ).
Eggplant Omelette is a well known Filipino cuisine. Eggplant has many health benefits and is also rich in vitamins that could help our body to function normally. There are different types of dishes you can cook with eggplant but our favorite is the Tortang Talong.
These were the simple ingredients
1-kilo eggplant ( good for 6-8 persons)
1 medium size spring onion
2 fresh eggs
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of cornstarch
1/2 tsp. of salt
1 pack of Crispy Fry
1/8 tsp. of Magic sarap ( optional)
1/4 cup of cooking oil
Here is how to prepare our Savory dish Tortang Talong it is so simple and easy.
Let the talong (eggplant) boil in water for 3-5 minutes until the eggplant skin is soft or you can also grill the eggplant if you want the same process if grilled.
After boiling, get the eggplant, put it into a larger container and let it cool.
Peel off the eggplant skin and put the skinless eggplant on a clean plate. Grab the fork and flatten the eggplant. Repeat the process with all remaining eggplant and set aside.
Prepare a bowl, and mixed all the dry ingredients. Crack the 2 fresh eggs, add the salt to taste on the bowl, and beat the mixture.
Mixed thoroughly and add 1/4 cup of water to soften the mixed ingredients.
Put the skinless eggplant into the mixed ingredients. Make sure that you've coated it fully, and kindly dip the flattened eggplant into your mixed ingredients.
Here is how to cook our Delicious Tortang Talong
Heat a pan, and then add 5 to 6 tablespoons of cooking oil
Put the coated eggplants in the pan and fry
Be sure to fry it nicely. Set it on medium heat, it will take 2 to 3 minutes on every side. When it is already turned golden brown both of its sides, it is cooked already.
Now we have our Tortang Talong perfectly cooked and it's so tasty and yummy
It is yummier if you can add sauce. Others would prefer to have catsup and for me, I like soy sauce, lemon with mixed spring onions, and add chili ( optional )
It is truly a simple dish but we treat it as a special dish. A dish that my mother taught us and we remembered her every time we cooked this savory dish. She always said before, that a simple dish will be special and delicious if you're gonna cooked it with Love. It brings happiness and joy to the family every time we prepared a dish that our mother taught us.
Thank you for reading until here my hive friends. I hope this gonna be useful to you and you can share this with others who like to cook. It will be my great honor if this blog inspired you and make you engage more in cooking.
Have a happy holidays to all and to God be the Glory.
