Bitoybits Original: Ang Itlog kong Nakakabusog!

Ang Itlog kong Nakakabusog!

Salted Duck Egg (or Itlog na Maalat) is considered as one of the most popular pulutan or sawsawan all over the country. These eggs are cooked, salted and dyed in order to differentiate from the usual Chicken Egg, Penoy and Balut. It can be served as a viand, or in most cases, a sawsawan (dip) to fried fish or in pulutan.

Tuwing may outing or team building, hindi nawawala sa listahan ko ang gumawa nang masarap na sawsawan mula sa gulay at itlog. Madami nang nagagawa, mura pa at less hassle pa.

So ngayon, ishe-share ko sa inyo ang aking recipe na medyo nilagyan ko ng twist. Pwede niyo itong isama sa mga inihaw na Barbecue (Oh Yes! Redundancy is the best policy), pritong pork chop or inihaw na fish. Pwede niyo rin sabayan ng mangga at bagoong para mag-unahan na lang sa CR (Charaught!)

Ang Itlog kong Nakakabusog!

Ingredients:

- 10 pieces medium sized Salted Egg, cubed or sliced into desired portion (Mas masarap kung yung pula eh mamantika)
- 10 pieces medium sized Ripe Tomatoes, cubed (Huwag Cherry Tomatoes kasi sobrang liit)
- 2 pieces medium sized Red Onions, cubed (Dba dapat violet ang tawag dito? wala namang trace ng red ang onion na ito eh)
- 2 pieces medium sized White Onions, sliced
- 1 medium sized Cucumber, peeled and cubed
- 1 clove of Garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. Olive Oil (shoshal devah?)
- 2 tbsp. Apple Cider (shalabells!)
- 5 tbsp. Vinegar (the more maasim the better)
- 2 tbsp. Table Sugar
- 1 tsp. Rock Salt ( \m/ )
- dash of Ground Pepper
- dash of Spanish Paprika
- dash of Cayenne Pepper

Procedure:

1. In a large mixing bowl, add Salted Egg, Ripe Tomatoes and Cucumber.
2. Add Olive Oil and Apple Cider. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
3. In a small bowl, mix Vinegar, Sugar, Ground pepper and Pepper.
4. Pour the liquid mixture into your vegetables and add Garlic and the Onions. Mix gently until evenly coated.
5. Finally add a dash of Spanish Paprika and Cayenne Pepper. (If you want your itlog to be more maanghang, just make dagdag a little bit of these powder and it's maanghang na. Okay?)

At ayan! May bago na naman kayong iseserve sa inyong family, friends, kainuman o mga kasama sa office. I'm pretty and I'm sure matutuwa sila sa'yo.
