  • 1 tbsp coriander
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • Salt
  • Pepper

  • Cumin
  • Ginger
  • Juice of half a lemon

Preparation method:

Begin by cutting the eggplants in half lengthwise. Place them in a steaming pot and let them cook until they become tender.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine freshly chopped coriander and parsley, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, ginger, grated garlic, the juice of half a lemon, and olive oil. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
