SAWCLicious: Tortang Talong/ Eggplant Omelette

One of my favorite dishes since I came to Belgium, simply because it's so easy to make and taste so Filipino as well.

Tortang Talong/ Eggplant Omelette

Ingredients

• 2 eggs scrambled and add 5 tbsp. water
• 1 eggplant
• ground pork (1/4 cup)
• 1/2 onion minced
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 tbsp. fish sauce
• salt & pepper

Procedure

1. Put small holes into the eggplant by stabbing it with a fork. Just a few stabs will do. Grill the eggplant until skin turns black. With eggplant in Europe (the fat short eggplants), I have to grill it for an hour.
2. Peel the skin of the eggplant and use a fork to flatten it. (You may need to set it aside first if it's too hot to peel the skin.)
3. In a pan, put around 1 tbsp. of oil and saute garlic, onion, and pork. Add the fish sauce to the pork and set aside once cooked.
4. Then heat the same pan again, add 1 tbsp. of oil, add the eggplant, eggs, and lay the cooked pork on top. Make sure that the pork is also covered with eggs. Season with some salt and pepper.Cook for around 3-4 minutes at each side.

Best served with Ketchup (Banana or Tomato)!
