Shared Recipe: Tortang Talong with Giniling

What we have is is our very first shared recipe made possible by Jannet Spengler of Heidelberg, Germany. Jannet does not like eating plain eggplant (tortang talong) ; this is the reason why she adds ground beef to the recipe. According to her, ground beef adds more flavor to the dish.

Do you have some recipes to share? Why don’t you send in your recipes and we’ll make sure to post them here. Pictures of the dish need not to be as complete as what Jannet has  (don’t get intimidated :)). It’s time for you to get noticed.

Panlasang Pinoy is not only about me  – its about you too. Relax, feel at home, and send-in those recipes.  Hope to hear from you soon!
