- 2 medium-large eggplants
- Olive oil
- Salt

- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- Large pinch of cayenne or ground chili pepper, to taste
- 46 tablespoons honey
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2/3 cup water
Method
- Cut the eggplants into rounds about 1/3 inch thick.
- Do not peel them.
- Dip them in olive oil, turning them over, and cook on a griddle or under the broiler, turning them over once, until they are lightly browned.
- They do not need to be soft, as they will cook further in the sauce.
- In a wide saucepan or skillet, fry the garlic in 2 tablespoons of the oil for seconds only, stirring, then take off the heat.
- Add the ginger, cumin, and cayenne or ground chili pepper, honey, lemon juice, and water.
- Put in the eggplant slices and cook over low heateither in batches, so that they are in one layer, or together, rearranging them so that each slice gets some time in the saucefor about 10 minutes, or until the slices are soft and have absorbed the sauce.
- Add a little water if necessary.
