Tortang Talong or Eggplant Omelet is a Filipino dish made of grilled eggplants and eggs. To make it more flavorful, sometimes, more ingredients are added — katulad na lang dito sa Tortang Talong ko today. I added ground pork and potato to make it a bit meaty and more filling.
Of course, I like this served with banana ketchup pero I also add sweet chili sauce to give it a little spicy kick. But when I posted this on IG, some commented that their favorite dipping sauce is toyomansi. Some like toyo and vinegar. Hindi ko pa na-try but I will next time baka nga mas bagay.
I like Tortang Talong but to be honest this is not a regular on our menu rotation here at home. I used to find it tedious — ang dami kasing ginagawa — grill the eggplant, saute the pork mixture — put it in a saucer before frying. AND it’s not very pretty when you look at it no? But you know what? It’s worth it at the end. You get a tasty eggplant dish that’s also budget-friendly.
Other Tortas that we like are Tortang Dulong and Tortang Sibuyas at Kamatis with Tinapa.
