Hoe doe je het

1. 01

   Place pine cones and almond wood in an outdoor stone oven and ignite to create a fire. Let it burn down to coals.

   Place the whole eggplants and onion directly onto the burning coals. Cook for 15-20 minutes until charred and soft.

3. 03

   Remove the charred eggplants and onion from the fire using tongs. Place them in a brown ceramic bowl.

4. 04

   Peel the skin off the eggplants and onion. Scoop out the flesh into the bowl, discarding the skins.

5. 05

   Add chopped garlic to the bowl. Mash and mix the eggplant, onion, and garlic with a wooden spoon until creamy.

6. 06

   Season the mixture with olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.

7. 07

   Spread the mixture onto small pieces of toasted bread.

8. 08

   Optionally, sprinkle white powder (likely cheese) over the toasts and use a kitchen torch to briefly char the tops.
