Ingredients

3tomato, grated
to tastegarlic and cumin

Instructions

1

Roast the eggplant until genuinely very soft all the way through.

2

Scoop out the flesh, discarding the charred skin.

3

Cook the eggplant flesh down with grated tomato, garlic and cumin, stirring often, until it turns thick and jammy rather than watery.

4

Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread for scooping, since zaalouk is just as good either way.
