Video Recipe: Ensaladang Talong Recipe
Ensaladang Talong is a Filipino eggplant salad. This dish is straightforward and very easy to make. It is composed of roasted eggplant with ginger, onion, tomatoes, certain spices and vinegar to bring out the taste. This is served as a side dish and goes well with grilled and fried dishes. The best Filipino eggplant salad with bagoong alamang toppings that help provide additional flavors to turn the dish into a very satisfying taste. This is one of my favorite Filipino quick and easy vegetarian side dishes, and many Filipinos, including myself, enjoy eating it. It is best to serve it with warm rice and any Filipino dishes.
Cook the eggplant directly on the stove top or grill it. Allow it to cook on both sides until dark brown and wrinkled, then take it away from the flame. Wait for it to cool down.
Peel off the skin of the eggplant. Use a fork to mash it into smaller pieces and remove the stem. Then transfer it into the plate bowl.
Chop the ginger, onion, tomatoes, and long green chili. Then add it to the mashed eggplant.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Add sugar to taste, but leave this (optional). Then pour in the white vinegar and toss to mix the ingredients.
Optionally garnish it with ginisang bagoong alamang.
Serve it with warm rice and any Filipino dish you like.
Happy cooking, Share and Enjoy eating.
