Notes
The whole dish can also be prepared with a pan and oven. A grill is therefore not absolutely necessary.
*I like it rather garlicky. If it's not your thing, you can just take 1-2 cloves.
*The smoked salt gives the Baba Ghanoush a subtle smoky note, but is not absolutely necessary. You can also use regular salt.
*I do not give any information about the amount of salt, because everyone salts differently. It is best to add a little salt and try again and again until the desired intensity is reached.
*The roasting/grilling time of the eggplants can vary greatly depending on the grill/oven. It is therefore essential to check regularly how the eggplants look like and act accordingly.
*If possible, do not move the grilled vegetables, otherwise the beautiful grill strips may slip or not be formed.
