Inspired by Moroccan zaalouk, this cooked eggplant and tomato salad differs from the better-known baba ghanouj with its zingy colour and spicy punch courtesy of paprika, harissa, cumin and lemon. Don’t be afraid to let the eggplant brown—that’s what makes it so sweet and meltingly tender. Top this salad with mint oil to instantly go gourmet.

Note from Ricardo

Grating fresh tomatoes is a quick method of extracting the most flesh and juice possible. We halved the tomatoes horizontally and grated them flesh-side down all the way to the skin.
