World’s Daily Food Photo Contest - Tuesday Appetizer/soup - Salted Eggs and Tomatoes

One favorite appetizer of Filipinos is the “itlog ng pula” or red egg which is actually salted duck egg. The duck egg is submerged in salted water for some time. I really don’t know how long. Some are wrapped up, depending on who makes them. I have no idea why they color it red. Leaves your fingers red when slicing.

I mix mine with tomatoes and a little onion.

This is how it looks after mixing. Goes well with fried fish, chicken, pork and almost anything.

These are the ingredients I used. I chopped the onions finely the cubed the tomatoes and salted egg. Had it with fried fish. Does give you an appetite lol.
