1 bunch of talong, trimmed, cut sliced diagonally
1 bunch of okra, trimmed, cut diagonally
2-3 medium size tomato, diced
1 medium size onion, peeled diced
bagoong na isda

Method:

Fill a big pot with water, about halfway. Bring to a boil. Blanch vegetables, using a large metal strainer place vegetables in the strainer in batches and vegetable type. Boil vegetables till just cooked and still crisp, remember that the leafy vegetables will cook faster. Drain the blanch vegetables in a colander. Place the blanch vegetables in the refrigerator to chill or until ready to serve. In the meantime toss the chopped tomato and onion in a medium size bowl. To serve arrange the vegetables in a platter and serve with bagoong na isda. Pour the bagoong over the blanch vegetables or serve as a dip with the bagoong, onion and tomato.
