How to Make It

  • 1

    Roast the 3 eggplants and 2 bell peppers directly over a gas flame or in a 200°C oven until the skins are charred and flesh is soft.

  • 2

    Peel the charred skins from the vegetables under cold water and roughly chop the flesh into small, bite-sized pieces.

  • 3

    Heat 60ml of olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the 4 minced garlic cloves for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • 4

    Add the chopped vegetables into the pan, stirring to coat them thoroughly with the garlic-infused oil.

  • 5

    Sprinkle the 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, and 1 tsp salt, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes until most liquid evaporates.

  • 6

    Stir in the 0.5 bunch of chopped fresh parsley right before removing from the heat to maintain a fresh, herbaceous note.
