Part 5/7:
The addition of raisins expands the sweetness and creates a balance against the salty olives. If desired, hot red pepper can be incorporated for a zesty kick.
Bringing It All Together
With the eggplants completed and other ingredients prepared, it's time to unite them into a cohesive dish. Gently fold the roasted eggplants into the sautéed mixture, blending them harmoniously while retaining some texture. Final touches can include additional pine nuts and herbs like mint, adding layers of complexity and freshness.
Taste testing the final product ensures that the balance of flavors is just right. Adjust the seasoning as necessary before serving.
