Method

  1. 1 Grill whole eggplants directly over a fire for 15 minutes, until the skin is charred black and the flesh is soft and tender.
  2. 2 Grilling the garlic cloves over the fire until the skin is slightly charred, rather than frying, is a unique characteristic of mirza ghasemi.
  3. 3 Peel the eggplant and mash it with a fork instead of blending it, so that the fibers remain.
  4. 4 Sauté minced roasted garlic with turmeric, then add chopped eggplant and tomatoes, and simmer for 12 minutes until the liquid evaporates.
  5. 5 Beat the eggs, pour them in, and stir slowly for 2 minutes until the eggs form a marbled pattern. Serve with pita bread.

With an appliance

  • Oven 50 min

    Replace step 1: Place whole eggplants on the top rack of the oven at 250 degrees for 18 minutes, rotate the tray after 9 minutes, then cover and let stand for 5 minutes before peeling. The inside cooks evenly and requires less monitoring of the heat, in return reducing the smoky flavor of direct burning.
