1. 1

   In a fair-sized pot, fry your onions and garlic with the olive oil until golden.

2. 2

   Add eggplant and figs; stir for a few minutes.

3. 3

   Add all remaining ingredients, mix well; bring to a boil then reduce to low heat and let simmer until all ingredients have melted into a coarse, jam- like consistency (45 minutes to 1 hour).

4. 4

   Stir occasionally.

5. 5

   When ready, adjust savory-sweetness to taste by adding more salt or honey.

6. 6

   Serve with any variety of toasted flatbread such as pita.

7. 7

   For best flavour, you should roast whole cumin, fennel and coriander seeds and grind them in a coffee grinder.
