Tortang talong or eggplant omelet has always been my go to dish when I do not like to eat meat, but want something decent and quick to prepare. I enjoy eating it with rice and banana ketchup. Tortang Talong with Crabmeat is even better because it has the good taste and texture of eggplant omelet plus the crabmeat.

This dish is quite easy to prepare. The video will show you the exact steps that I did, while the recipe below will show you the exact measurements of the ingredients. If you are doing this for the first time, note that the eggplant needs to be broiled or roasted (not boiled) before peeling off the skin. The traditional way to do it is to put the eggplant directly over fire or charcoal.

I used fresh crab meat that I got from the nearby grocery. These came from crab claws according to the details in the package. You can also use frozen crab meat as long as it has been thawed. If you are in the Philippines or any location where crabs are abundant, it is perfect to use the meat of a freshly steamed crab.

This is a nice dish to cook as an alternative for meat. I hope that this recipe, the cooking video, and this tip can help guide you to cook tortang talong with crab meat.

      Use the oven or the microwave oven to cook the eggplant.

    This was delicious! I added tomatoes too for added flavor and crunch, then used scallions. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
