2 eggplants
2 tomatoes, cut in half, pulp grated, and skin discarded
3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro

DIRECTION:
1- Place the eggplants over the stove at medium heat or a grill. Grill the eggplants for 10 to 15 minutes while turning them from time to time until they are charred entirely.
2- Remove the eggplants from the stove and let them cool down.
3- In a pan over medium heat, place the grated tomatoes, olive oil, grated garlic cloves, chili pepper, paprika, cumin, salt, and cilantro. Using a wooden spoon, mix until all the ingredients are combined and cook for 5 minutes.
