Dice the eggplants and zucchini, soak the eggplants in salted water for 15 minutes and dry them.
Heat the sunflower oil over medium-high heat and fry the vegetables separately until browned.
Cook the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and salt in a small pot for 10 minutes, until they become a thick sauce.
Transfer the fried vegetables to a serving plate and drizzle the tomato sauce over them.
Let the saksuka rest warm for 10 minutes and serve with yogurt.
💡 Tip: Resting the fried vegetables on paper keeps the plate from becoming heavy once they meet the sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Pour the tomato sauce over the top and serve warm.
