This was a very long time coming but it was finally realized: Jeni and I were able to roll off the bed and make it to the wet market in time. In time for what? In time to get liempo for grilling!
Jeni has been craving inihaw na liempo (she loves pork) for the uber-longest time and I was always too busy (or too tamad) to hit the market for the said meat cut. I usually wake up too late and end up seeing only pork chops (too dry for charcoal broiling) or kasim (would make good adobo though).
So one weekend (a long time ago...), Jeni and I found ourselves awake at 5:30pm... giving us the chance to snag the coveted piece of meat.
So after firing up the grill, we grilled the...eggplants. Actually, the eggplants came later.
Mainit na mainit na talong...
This was the star of the show:
Ang baboy naman nito!
I made ensaladang inihaw na talong with minced onion, diced tomatoes, a splash of kalamansi and Tita F's (Jeni's mom) home-cooked bagoong with HUGE pieces of pork meat and fat. Jeni's family enjoyed it and wiped it off as soon as it hit the dining table. I didn't get any pictures of the finished products... hahaha!
