Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C

4. Spoon the fig jam over the eggplants and crumble the feta on top.
5. Roast the eggplants in the preheated oven for about 30–35 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.

This dish combines the roasted flavor of eggplants with the sweetness of fig jam and the saltiness of feta. It’s a delightful blend of flavors and textures.
The fig is like a flower that unfolds – full of sweetness and beauty."
