For an even smokier flavor you can roast the eggplant on a grill or over the flame on your gas stovetop. Simply roast the eggplant until the skin is charred and the flesh is tender. Remove the flesh from the skin and strain any excess liquid before pureeing with the other ingredients. You can also add some fresh herbs like parsley or mint as a garnish to add a beautiful pop of color and extra flavor.
