What to do
-
-
Sprinkle eggplant halves with salt and set aside for about 30 minutes, then rinse and wipe dry with kitchen paper (this helps remove bitterness). If using whole eggplant make a slit lengthways with sharp knife and gently pull open to expose eggplant pulp.

-
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.

Arrange reserved eggplant shells in an ovenproof dish, spoon in cooked vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with feta.
