Preparing In The Kitchen
  1. Preheat the oven to 210 ºC and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, add the eggplant pieces with 4 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well and spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast them for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway until the eggplants are caramelized and soft. Remove them from the oven and set aside.
  4. Place a large pan over medium high heat add 3 tablespoon olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and fry them until fragrant.
  5. Add the garlic and all spices, stirring continuously, until the garlic is aromatic and starting to brown. Be careful not to burn it.
