Layering flavor is the key to this eggplant recipe. The combination of earthy eggplant, salted anchovies, caramelized onions, garlicky chives and crispy fried shallots is enriching and complementary tastes beyond just the basic ingredients.
Eggplants must be cooked completely through until it is meltingly tender and silky. Only then will it be smooth and creamy as well as receptive to other flavors.
