It must be one of the easiest to prepare for some but quite complicated for others. I do not cook the perfect tortang talong but I take pride in the way my husband and children clean-up their plates everytime I cook this. I add ground pork in mine and uncooked finely chopped onions before I fry them. I think its the chopped onions that give the recipe the perk. My mother used to just mash the eggplants before folding them into the beaten eggs. It works just as well. Sometimes though, it's nice to add a little look to it. I do it once in a while when I am not really pressed for time.
Ingredients:
2 medium eggplants
250 gms of cooked ground pork
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
3 eggs
2 tbsp of flour
salt to taste
Broil the eggplants in the oven toaster. Once cooked, peel the eggplant and flatten them with a fork. In a big bowl, beat eggs. Add the flour, cooked ground pork, onions and salt.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Pour about half of the mixture in the frying pan and then slowly add the flattened eggplants. Pour the rest of the mixture on top of the eggplants. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the bottom is brown. Flip the eggplants over and cook for another 5 minutes.
I was going to say that you should be careful in flipping the eggplants over, but this was of course just for presentation purposes. Whether it comes out with a good appearance or not, I believe that the taste stays the same.

i never knew you could add meat. this sounds good. i'll try it sometimes :)
hi ms. ting! same here, i cook it without meat but with knorr seasoning. james loves me more when i cook this for him, heehee. he cooks better than me but not this one. it's my emergency food for him.
i consider this as a "matrabahong" dish, pero sulit! my husband and kids love this.
;)
looks like it's time for a tortang talong party, the pinay bloggers have been posting about this so much, i want some now!
Bugsybee, have you tried this with patis and calamansi? Torta also goes well with that sawsawan if you can't get the right timpla.
Dexiekins..absolutely! I find pork better added to the torta than beef.
Sha, try it and you'll see the difference.
talhey, emergency food? haha..call it whatever you want pero talagang masarap. Knorr seasoning? wow that's the first time I've heard about adding it to tortang talong.
Bok, you know when we were in the Philippines, it was really matrabaho because you had to grill the talong if you didn't have an pven. That's the traditional way, di ba? Thank God for toaster ovens.
Stef, sige, i'll be very excited to see what your version is.
I LOVE tortang talong but I've never tried cooking it! Salamat sa recipe.
This recipe is so simple and yet soooo delicious. I never grow tired of eating this. The picture made me hungry.
