Simple dishes do not necessarily mean simple eating, there are a lot of Filipino recipes that are very simple to do, but definitely makes one’s tummy flutter with delight! One of these recipes is a fan favorite: tortang talong.
Tortang talong or egg omelet is basically one whole eggplant that is charred, skinned and dipped in egg with fillings, and fried again until golden brown. This simple dish only take a few minutes that even an untrained cook can do it!
Tortang talong’s filling ingredients may vary depending on the person’s taste. The typical filling is ground beef or pork. But in this episode, Chris Urbano of Maputing Cooking uses tinapa flakes to show you how to cook tortang talong the healthier way. The smokey flavor of tinapa also compliments the charred skin of talong and adds to its distinct flavor.
A healthy twist? Chris Urbano makes his own ketchup from scratch! No store-bought banana ketchup, but a homemade tomato ketchup that will elevate the taste of this dish!
