Smoky Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 small ripe tomatoes (about 1/2 pound)

- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- Coal-Roasted Eggplants (click for recipe)
- Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley and lemon wedges (for serving)
Steps
- Grill tomatoes, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and split, about 4 minutes. Press through a sieve set over a medium bowl; discard solids. Whisk in anchovies, garlic, harissa, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon half of sauce onto a platter. Place eggplants on top, season with salt, and spoon remaining sauce over. Let sit 30 min-utes to let flavors meld. Drizzle with oil, top with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
