How do you remove the skin of the grilled eggplant?

To do this with ease, immediately transfer the eggplant from the grill into a bowl and seal it in plastic wrap. The steam will help loosen the skin from the flesh. After 5 minutes, you can peel the skin off.

How do you roast an eggplant if you don't have a grill or an oven?

One option is to do it over a gas stove flame. First, make a few small slits on the eggplant using a knife to stop it from bursting. Place the eggplant directly on a grate set over a medium-high flame. Use tongs to flip the vegetable when the skin turns black and the inside feels soft. Another alternative is to cook it on a cast-iron pan or skillet on medium-high heat. Cook until the bottom is dark brown, about 5-7 minutes, then flip to cook the other side.

Tortang Talong na May Giniling Recipe (Eggplant Omelette with Ground Pork)

You can really play around with this recipe. Enjoy it basic, sans ground pork and just the eggplant dipped in beaten eggs. But if you want to be extra then here are some ideas for you.

Go seafood. In place of pork, you can throw in crab meat, chopped shrimp or even flaked dried fish. Impress even more by adding fish roe and crab fat (taba ng talangka) on top.
Instead of ground pork, go for something that’s well seasoned like longganisa. Slice open the Filipino sausage, take the meat out of the casing, saute until cooked then add that to the egg.
Take inspiration from a vegetable fritter (okoy). Peel and shred a pumpkin or potato, making sure they’re thin so they cook about the same time as the egg.
