That's an interesting recipe for stew, very much unlike how I make it. I hated egg plant for years but recently tried by accident (it was slipped into my food) and discovered that I really liked it. Thanks for the recipe, I will give it a try!

Welcome.
I also do not like eggplant before but after I discovered that it could taste really good on some dishes, I have liked it since. The eggplant omelet is one of my favorite eggplant dishes.

I haven't tried pinakbet yet, and we haven't cooked this for the past few months. It's not that I didn't like it, maybe because I'm not used to it that's why I'm not always eating it, haha (but I've never tried it yet, truly D: ). I think I'm going to try and cook this because from the sound of the procedures, it'd really taste great.

I often make something very similar to this but without the pork. I don't eat pork and I do like a vegetable stew to be made only from vegetables. In placeof the pork I might use cubes of potato, or add some presoaked beans or lentils. Instead of squash I would use swede or parsnips in winter.
