Rellenong Talong Recipe (Stuffed Eggplant)

Rellenong Talong or Stuffed Eggplants is a delicious eggplant recipe. It is sort of a mixture of dry pork giniling and tortang talong. This dish is not that complicated at all. All you need to do is follow all the steps one-at-a-time to be able to get the expected result.

There are a few tips that I wanted to share in order to ease the job. First, when you are done arranging the ground pork over the eggplants and poured the beaten egg mixture on the pork, you can scoop some hot oil from the pan over the ground pork; this will cook the egg a little bit and bind the meat together. It is important because it will prevent the meat from falling apart when being flipped. Secondly, you might want to use two spatulas when flipping the eggplant to ensure that the eggplant and meat will still be in one piece.
