Fragrant, flavourful, sumptuous and oh so silky, this braised eggplant is an absolute explosion of flavour with the most wonderful soft, silky texture. I love cooking with eggplant as it soaks up any flavour that crosses its path like a sponge and when braised like this, becomes so soft and decadent, it’s a true delight!

The Lebanese Baharat in this dish adds all the perfect sweet, aromatic, spicy notes that complement the flavours used in this dish perfectly.

I like to serve it on a bed of fluffy rice to mop up all the wonderful juices, but you can also serve with potato, thick slices of fresh bread, or even on the side of a meat or fish dish.

*I’ve used small eggplants in this dish, but if yours are larger, you may need to pre-salt and drain them for 30 minutes beforehand to remove excess water and bitterness.
