Chef Rishim Sachdeva of Tendril Restaurant in Soho, London, prepares a smoked eggplant topped with lemon tahini, pumpkin seeds, Kalamata olives, and herbs. He chars the eggplant for about 40 minutes until it’s perfectly smoky, soft, and creamy. He then peels and opens up the eggplant, and adds an extra layer of smoky crispness by torching the flesh.
