Ingredients
- 220 g Long aubergines (talong)
- 10 g Vegetable oil
- 8 g Garlic
- 40 g Onion
- 100 g Tomatoes
- 0.5 g Salt
- 0.3 g Black pepper
- 100 g Eggs
- 160 g Steamed white rice (to serve)
Method
- Grill the whole aubergines directly over a gas flame, on a barbecue or under a very hot grill for 10-15 minutes, turning them, until the skins are blackened all over and the flesh has collapsed and is completely soft.
- Put them in a bowl for 5 minutes to cool a little, then peel off the charred skin and pull off the stems. Chop or mash the flesh roughly with a fork.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chopped garlic for 1 minute, until pale gold, add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, until they break down.
- Add the aubergine, salt and pepper and stir for 2 minutes, until hot.
- Beat the eggs and pour them over the aubergine. Leave them for 20 seconds, then fold gently for about 2 minutes, until they have just set in soft curds through the aubergine.
- Serve hot with the rice. In Ilocos it is eaten at any meal of the day, breakfast included; many cooks add a dash of fish sauce or bagoong, left out here to keep it vegetarian.
