Smoked eggplant puree recipe:

You can use two different methods to smoke eggplant. We can either put eggplants on stove or bake them in the oven. 25 minutes will be enough. You should bake/grill eggplant with their skins and then peel them off. 

Peel the eggplants once they’re ready. Scoop out the flesh with the help of a spoon and cut in small pieces. Put the eggplants  in a large bowl and mash them with a fork preferably. Crush lemon juice and garlic together. Add it to eggplants.
