Guys, I am sorry I have no new recipe for you today. I am presently in Utah for a food blog conference and would be back in California early next week.

What I have for you, though, is a delicious blast from the past. A Filipino-style salad made of juicy grape tomatoes, smoky grilled eggplant, and salted duck eggs I first posted in 2014.

It's a smorgasbord of savory flavors you'll love and deserve a return to the spotlight.

Tomato, grilled eggplant and salted egg salad is a fabulous accompaniment to your favorite grilled meats or seafood. As the salted eggs are strongly-flavored, the salad doesn't need more than a dash of salt or a dab of bagoong (shrimp paste) to be extra delicious.

My favorite way, however, to dress this ensaladang talong is a mixture of vinegar and fish sauce as the combination of tangy and umami flavors pulls together the salad perfectly.

How to Roast Eggplant:

I like to grill my eggplants on the stovetop but you can also roast in the oven, in a pan, or on the grill.

  • On the Stovetop: Using a knife or the tines of a fork, prick the eggplant a few times to prevent from bursting during cooking. Place directly over the flames on the gas stove and cook, rotating regularly with tongs, for about 5 to 6 minutes or until evenly charred.
  • In the Oven: Arrange eggplants in a single layer on a baking sheet. Using a knife or the tines of a fork, prick the eggplant a few times and then brush with canola or olive oil. Roast in 400 F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or tender.
  • In a Pan: Using a knife or the tines of a fork, prick the eggplant a few times and then brush with canola or olive oil. In a heavy-bottomed wide pan over medium-high heat, place eggplants in a single layer. Roast, turning on sides as needed, for about 5 to 6 minutes or until tender and evenly charred.
  • On the Grill: Using a knife or the tines of a fork, prick the eggplant a few times and then brush with canola or olive oil. Wrap eggplant with foil or place directly on the grill rack. Grill, uncovered, about 6 to 8 minutes or until tender and evenly charred.

After roasting, let the eggplant cool to touch and gently peel skin. Rinse under cold, running water to rid of any stray skin and then chop to pieces. Proceed with recipe as directed.

Want homemade salted eggs? They're so easy to make, the hardest part is the wait! More delicious ways to enjoy eggplant? Adobong talong is a great vegetarian option!

    Not big on eggplants; but I'll save this recipe incase I'm in the mood to try something new. Middle aged people change moods often. Have fun at the conference!
