It was on a Filipino food discovery trip to Vigan and Laoag with my husband that we first tried this eggplant dish the locals there call poque-poque. It's a simple all Pinoy dish basically made of just eggplants and scrambled eggs but it tastes so good. I have tried to replicate the vegetable recipe for this wonderful Filipino food at home with success (got rave reviews from the family). And the thing is the dish is so good but is so simple to make.
Ingredients :
4 medium eggplants
2 eggs beaten
1 clove garlic, mashed
1/2 onion, diced
2 medium sized tomatoes, diced
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 chicken broth cube
Pepper to taste
1. Grill the eggplants and peel off skin. Slice the peeled eggplant into one-inch cubes (cubes do not have to be perfectly shaped).
2. In a pan saute garlic, onion, tomatoes in oil.
3. Add in chicken broth cube and 3-4 tbsp water. Simmer until the chicken broth cube is completely dissolved.
4. Add in the sliced eggplants and mix well together.
5. Sprinkle with pepper. Serve hot.
