El Wadi Fire-Roasted Eggplant is an embodiment of authentic Oriental cooking, focusing on extracting the deepest possible flavor from the eggplant’s natural profile. Preparation begins by roasting large, plump eggplant fruits, either over an open flame or charcoal, until the skin is fully charred and peeling. This step is crucial because it gives the eggplant its characteristic smoky and charred flavor that cannot be achieved by any other cooking method.
