  • After washing your Eggplants and tomatoes, start by making a few slits on the Eggplant. Stuff the garlic into the slits of the Eggplants.
  • Wheather you are using a gas stove or a outdoor grill, roast the Eggplants for about 20 ish minutes until they are charred. We wrapped ours in a foil to avoid the juices from dripping. Be sure to flip the Eggplants to make sure all the sides are roasted completely.
  • Roast your tomato as well until charred.
  • Once the Eggplants are fully roasted, remove the charred skin and scoop the inside contents with the garlic with a fork and add to a serving dish.
  • Chopped your onions, green onions and peppers as fine as possible.
