FILIPINO ITLOG NA MAALAT AT KAMATIS (EGG AND TOMATO SALAD)
This recipe has been passed to me from my Filipino mother. It's a filipino egg and tomato salad. I eat it with plain rice but can also be eaten with fried fish and spam / salted pork. It's traditionally made with salted duck eggs but I use regular hard boiled eggs.

SALTED EGGS (ITLOG NA MAALAT)
A traditional delicacy of the Philippines. It is also known as 'itlog na pula' or red egg because it is usually dyed red. correct me if im mistaken but I think the traditional way of making this is by covering the egg in mud. We usually eat this with tomatoes, fish sauce, etc. I haven't tried doing this particular recipe though.
