Roasted Eggplant Sauce

Roasted Eggplant Sauce: A spoonable accompaniment that carries the ingredient’s flavor. Blend or strain the cooked base, adjust its liquid, and taste it with the food it will accompany rather than alone.

Context

Cook eggplant flesh until soft; a browned outside alone can leave a spongy interior. Avoid incorporating bitter burnt skin into a smooth preparation unless a deliberate small smoky accent is intended.

Example

A menu could use this preparation in a small serving beside the main ingredient. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.

How THT uses it

At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
