Notes

  • If you prefer a smooth cream you can mix the ingredients in a food blender. But this I would only recommend if you double the ingredients.
  • Fill the eggplant paste into a serving bowl or store it in a jar in the refrigerator for a week minimum.
  • Sprinkle them with some sesame seeds before serving
