ADOBONG TALONG WITH CORNED BEEF
Eggplant is one of the best vegetables for me. It can be used in a wide range of dishes, especially as a meat alternative. I have tried using eggplant on pork dishes especially the saucy ones and all turned out great.
Eggplant is soft and tender and cooked. This texture makes is very easy to consume. My lola is one big adobo fan. She is the one who taught me most of the dishes I cook here at Yummy Kitchen. Her favorite variant of adobo is the beef adobo. Most of the adobo we prepare at home is pork adobo but when it is my lola’s birthday, we make sure to prepare a beef one. With ageing, her teeth began slowly incapable of eating chewy foods even with dentures. I found using eggplant as a meat alternative very useful in this situation. Adobong talong is already a complete dish but just like in this recipe, I added some corned beef just to complete my lola’s beef fix. So if your lolo and lola wants to enjoy some adobo but can only consume soft foods, serve some them some adobong talong today.
Enough with the teeth talks but adobong talong is truly an amazing dish. It is one way to include vegetables in your daily meals without having to sacrifice the taste. Eggplant remains being cheap and you can buy a bunch of it for a good price.

HOW TO MAKE ADOBONG TALONG WITH CORNED BEEF
Making the adobong talong with corned beef is much easier than the classic meat adobo.
In this dish, the eggplant will be our main ingredient. Get the freshest eggplant you can get. There are two types of eggplant—the long violet ones and the green short ones. You can opt to use any of the two but the long violet ones are much more recommendable and will give you a greater yield. Slice your eggplant into small pieces. Since our eggplant will be soft and super tender when cooked, keeping its skin on will help remain the eggplant intact through the whole cooking process. Fry your eggplants until half-cooked. We will cook it fully later.
Sauté your aromatics and the corned beef just like how you make ginisang corned beef. This is a budget-friendly version which is why we are using corned beef. If you have extra budget, you can use any type of ground meat instead. On the otherhand, if you want a no-meat dish, simply omit the corned beef or ground meat.
Bring the eggplants back to the pan and toss to distribute the corned beef. The next steps would be adding the seasonings one by one. Do not stir it too early to prevent the raw taste of the vinegar. In this recipe, I do not use salt as the saltiness from the seasonings are already right for me. Stir it and cook the eggplant adobo until everything is set. Grab your plate and eat this yummy dish with a lot of rice!
