These aubergine omelettes are ideal for a quick brunch – and make the perfect introduction to the wonders of Filipino cuisine
Why isn’t Filipino food more popular in the UK? Filipino restaurants are distinctly lacking compared with those featuring the food of the country’s south-east Asian cousins. This must change, because Filipino cuisine offers an amazing variety of delicious dishes that need to be sampled. I learned how to make these aubergine omelettes from my Filipina friend Regie while working in Malawi. They are so simple and are a great idea for brunch after a morning run (you can prepare the aubergines in advance). The sauce should ideally be made with calamansi (also known as the Philippine lime), but works well with limes normally available in the UK. It has a lovely sweet-and-sour umami.
