Among many Filipino food that I miss very much, this is one of them. It's easy to prepare & the burst of flavors in your mouth is just beyond words. It's salty, sour & juicy. My helper told me that most Filipinos eat salted eggs this way. I googled & learned that the locals call it Itlog Na Maalat At Kamatis (Salted Egg & Tomatoes). Traditionally it is paired with dried fish, grilled pork belly, smoked sardine just to name a few. Some will add shallots & some just the egg & tomatoes seasoned with Calamansi juice or fish sauce.
In this recipe, I used Lemon juice in replace of Calamansi juice because I ran out of it & medium big onions instead of shallots. Taste just as good.
Ingredients :
- 1 Whole Salted Egg, cooked & roughly break into small chunks with a fork
- 2tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Whole Tomato, diced
- 1 Medium Big Onion, diced
Mix diced tomato & onion in a bowl, add in lemon juice. Mix well & add in salted egg. Serve :)
