Bopis Recipe

This Bopis Recipe is a spicy Filipino dish of pork lungs and heart sautéed in chilies, and onions.

This spicy Filipino dish has Spanish origins, but the meaning in its original language, and even region of origin, are now lost.

It is sauteed and stir-fried (until crispy) with finely-chopped pig innards and cooked in onion, garlic, and pepper.

Bopis recipes may differ from region to region and from family to family, with regard to ingredients, spices, and flavoring.

Classified as pulutan in Filipino cuisine, bopis is served with alcoholic beverages preferably beer. Bopis is also served as a main dish with rice.

NOTE: This bopis recipe is not ideal for people who suffer from rheumatism because of its high uric acid content.

If you want your bopis recipe to have vegetables, you may also add labanos (radish).

Easy Tortang Talong Recipe

Tortang Talong (eggplant omelet) is a fritter from Filipino cuisine made by pan-frying grilled whole eggplants dipped in an egg mixture.

Easy Tortang Talong Recipe

Tortang Talong (eggplant omelet) is a fritter from Filipino cuisine made by pan-frying grilled whole eggplants dipped in an egg mixture. It is a popular lunch meal in the Philippines. Tortang Talong is also a staple in the menu of Filipino cuisine restaurants and carinderias (eateries).

The basic tortang talong recipe starts with grilling the entire eggplant until the flesh is soft and the skin becomes charred. This should be possible in a charcoal grill, a baking pan, or over a direct flame, like on a gas stove with the eggplant wrapped in aluminum foil. The grilling gives the eggplant a distinct smoky flavor. The charred skin is then peeled off with the stalk being retained. The fleshed is mashed flat using a fork. The flesh is then dipped into a beaten egg mixture seasoned with salt. Other variations use a salt and spice mixture. The eggplant is then fried until the outside is brown and crispy.

The most common variety of eggplant in the Philippines is the long and slender purple kind. If the larger and rounder eggplant variety is to be used, the eggplant may need to be halved, with the stalk still attached, so it can be grilled more evenly.

Tortang talong is usually served with rice. It is eaten best with a dipping sauce like soy sauce, vinegar, banana ketchup, etc. Additional seasoning may be used like black pepper, calamansi, or chilis. It can also be served as a side dish to meat dishes.

A good dish to pair the Tortang Tolang is with Crispy Pata.
