Instructions
To make Tortang Talong, follow these easy steps:
1. Roast Eggplants: Start by roasting the eggplants directly over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Once done, let them cool slightly, then peel off the skin.
2. Prepare the Mixture: In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. If using, add minced pork, chopped onions, and garlic, mixing well.
3. Flatten the Eggplants: Gently flatten the roasted eggplant with a fork, keeping it intact, and put them on a plate.
4. Coat Eggplants with Egg Mixture: Dip the flattened eggplants into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
5. Heat Oil: In a skillet, heat a generous amount of cooking oil over medium heat.
6. Fry the Tortang Talong: Place the egg-coated eggplants in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the Tortang Talong from the skillet and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
8. Serve Warm: Garnish with sliced fresh tomatoes before serving.
