Steps:
- Preheat your oven at 170C/350F.
- Roast the eggplants on open flame on your oven burner or a bbq grill. Turn them occasionally, and cook until completely tender and well charred on all sides, approx. 1 hour.
- While the eggplants are roasting, quarter the tomatoes and half the garlic head, leaving the peel on.
- Season the tomatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, thyme and balsamic vinegar. Toss them well and let them slowly roast in the oven.
- Transfer the roasted eggplants into a colander and clean the charred crust as soon as you remove them from the burner. Wet your fingers tips while you peel the eggplants, but DON'T put the eggplants under water. Let the eggplants drain for about 30 min to avoid a bitter taste of your salad.
- Mince the eggplant flesh with a wooden spoon or an eggplant knife (made of wood) until you get a fine paste.
- Mix the eggplant salad using a wooden spoon with salt and the remaining olive oil, adding it a tbsp at a time, until you get a smooth mixture.
- Chop the roasted tomatoes and squeeze out the garlic from its shell. Mix them with the eggplant salad, adding more salt if needed.
- Serve with your favourite bread and a small olive oil drizzle on top of your salad.

Steps:
- Arrange rack at center position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Oil a large, heavy baking sheet generously with olive oil.
- Cut each eggplant into 1-inch cubes and place them on baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/2 cup olive oil, then toss to coat all the eggplant well. Spread diced eggplant in a single layer in pan and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Roast, stirring every 5 minutes, until golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Watch carefully so that eggplant does not overcook. Remove and cool 10 minutes. Transfer to large non-reactive mixing bowl and add tomatoes, onion and garlic.
- Whisk lemon juice with cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Pour mixture over eggplant and tomatoes, and toss very gently, taking care to keep eggplant intact.
- Add parsley to bowl with eggplant. Mix gently. Taste and season with more salt, and a squeeze or two more of lemon juice if desired. (This salad actually tastes better when prepared 3 to 4 hours ahead so that the flavors can meld. It can be prepared a day in advance. Refrigerate and bring to room temperature 30 minutes before serving when making ahead.).
- Spoon salad into a serving bowl or onto a platter. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Season the cut sides of the tomatoes lightly with salt and pepper and place cut sides down on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake until the tomatoes are very lightly browned and collapsed, about 3 hours. Set aside.
- Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Sprinkle the eggplant slices lightly with salt and transfer them to a large colander to drain for 30 minutes.

Add the wine, stock, herbs and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Raise the heat to high and continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
