Roast the eggplants until fully soft, then remove any heavily charred skin and drain excess liquid briefly. Add lemon, garlic and olive oil near serving time to keep the flavor fresh rather than harsh.
A gas flame or barbecue gives the dish a stronger smoky flavor. Oven roasting is easier and more consistent, as long as the eggplant is cooked until collapsed and tender.
Keep peeled eggplant in an airtight container and mix in a small amount of lemon juice. Lemon slows browning, but using too much can overpower the delicate smoky flavor.
Homemade eggplant söğürme is best eaten within 2 to 3 days when refrigerated in a sealed container. Discard it if it develops mold, fizzing, an off smell or unusual separation.
Yes, plain roasted and chopped eggplant freezes well, although it may release water and become softer after thawing. For the best texture, add lemon, garlic, herbs and olive oil after thawing.
