      \n
    • \n

      Do not wash the dried eggplants before boiling, as they may not soften properly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      To prevent the walnuts from darkening, add the lemon juice just before serving.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      A food processor may be used instead of a mortar.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
