Instructions

  1. 1

    Roast Eggplant: Prick eggplants with a fork and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes until the skin is blistered and the flesh is very soft. Let cool, scoop out the flesh, and mash it.

    Cook Tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced tomatoes and minced garlic, cooking for 10 minutes until they break down into a sauce.

  3. 3

  4. 4

    Simmer and Mash: Cook the mixture for another 10-15 minutes, mashing continuously with a spoon or potato masher to blend the flavors and evaporate excess liquid.

  5. 5

    Finish: Stir in chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Serve warm or cold with crusty bread.
