-
Remove about half the pulp from the cooled eggplant halves with a spoon, then chop and set aside. If using whole eggplant gently remove some pulp, taking care not to tear open the eggplant too much.
-
Add remaining olive oil to frying pan and sautè onion until translucent.
-
Add garlic, eggplant pulp and tomatoes, mix well and bring to a simmer.
-
Add blackcurrants and walnuts, season to taste and stir thoroughly.
