Bitoybits Original: Bitoybits Ang Cheezy ng Talong ko!

Talong or Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is a species of nightshade commonly known in British English as aubergine and also known as brinjal, brinjal eggplant, melongene, garden egg, or guinea squash. It bears a fruit of the same name (commonly either "eggplant" in American English or "aubergine" in British English) that is widely used in cooking.

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) from Wikipedia.org

Ayan ayon kay Mareng Wikipedia, yan ang description ng malinamnam na gulay na kahit saan pwedeng tumubo. Ang taray di ba? May iba't iba pang name.

So eto ako at nakaisip na gumawa ng recipe na alam kong magugustuhan ninyo, hindi lang ng mga Nanay at Tatay pati na rin ang mga "Paminta" o yung mga nanonood ng My Husband's Lover ng palihim sa kanilang mga family (No offense Meant ha?). Itong recipe ko ay pwedeng pang-ulam or pang-pulutan sa inuman or Team Building ng iyong kasama sa work, or pwede niyo rin itong papakin habang mega-crayola sa panonood ng mga Telenovela.

Ang Cheezy ng Talong Ko! Recipe:

Ingredients:

- 5 medium sized Talong (the longer the better di ba?) thinly sliced

- Olive Oil (If can't afford, pwede na yung Cooking Oil na nakabalot sa plastic ng ice candy)

- 2 c. All Purpose Flour

- 2 beaten eggs

- Breadcrumbs (kung wala,  dikdikin niyo na lang ang lumang pan de sal)

- Rosemary 

- 3 tbps. Vinegar

- Salt and Pepper

- 1 tbsp. Brown sugar

- 1 minced White Onion

- 250 grams Quick melt or Edam cheese

- Chopped parsley

Procedure:

1. Slice Eggplants into thin even strips using a sharp knife.

TIP: To avoid the discoloration of the Eggplant slices, squeeze a calamansi or lemon. (Sino naman ang matutuwang kumain nang maitim na talong! Sino! Devah?)

2. In a frying pan, drizzle Olive Oil (shala! Drizzle talaga) and saute the Onions for one minute. Remove and save them for garnishing.

3. In a bowl, coat the sliced eggplants with this pattern: flour, beaten eggs, bread crumbs, then fry them until golden brown)

4. Drain the excess oil using paper towels (sa case ko na walang ganun, strainer na lang para masaya). In a separate bowl, create the Vinaigrette mixture: Vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar.

5. Arrange them in a serving plate, drizzle with Vinaigrette and make budbod the Rosemary then add Cheese.  (Para mas efek, try to make budbod the cheese with matching lambing at kembot ng very very light)

6. If you don't want to make the Eggplants maasim, use the Vinaigrette as dip. Then add Parsley and sauted onions for garnishing.

Viola! Ang tarush na nang Talong Mo, impressed pa ang mga friendships mo, pati si Boa mo, matutuwa. May kiss sabay hug ka from him. Tapos ganito mo i-serve ito: Pa, eto na ang Cheezy kong Talong! Tikman mo na! :)
