Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven broiler.
  • Place the eggplants on a baking sheet and poke them with a fork all over.
    3 medium eggplants
  • Place them under the preheated broiler for about 25 minutes, until the skin darkens and feels very soft, turning them occasionally.
  • Remove the eggplants from the oven, set aside to cool and peel them when cool enough to handle.
  • Once peeled, place the eggplants in a colander and let them drain for about 30 minutes, pushing them with a wooden spoon to remove the most moisture possible.
  • Mash the eggplants in a bowl with a potato masher.
  • Heat an oven proof non-stick skillet and cook the onions over a medium-low heat until golden brown in some cooking fat, about 15 minutes.
    2 onions
  • Add the garlic and cook for a further 3 minutes, until fragrant.
    4 cloves garlic
  • Preheat your oven broiler again.
  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl and combine with the mashed eggplants, cooked onions and garlic, chopped parsley, crushed caraway seeds, coriander and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
    ¾ cup fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon crushed caraway seeds, ½ teaspoon ground coriander, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, 6 eggs
  • Add some more cooking fat in the skillet you used to cook the onions, reheat it to a low heat and pour in the egg mixture.
    Cooking fat
  • Cover and cook until almost set, about 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and place under the preheated broiler for a further 5 minutes, until golden brown on top.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature and garnished with lemon wedges.
    1 lemon
