Mirza Ghasemi is a delicious Iranian dish made primarily from roasted eggplants and tomatoes, flavored with garlic and spices. Here's a basic recipe to prepare Mirza Ghasemi:
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red chili flakes for extra spice
- Pierce the eggplants with a fork and place them directly on a gas flame or under a broiler.
- Roast the eggplants until their skin is charred and they become soft on the inside. Turn them occasionally for even roasting. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Once roasted, let the eggplants cool, then peel off the charred skin and chop the flesh finely.
- Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for a few minutes until the skin starts to peel off.
- Remove the tomatoes, cool them down, peel off the skin, and chop them finely.
3. Sauté Garlic and Spices:
- In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Sprinkle turmeric powder and optional red chili flakes (for heat) into the pan, and cook for another minute.
4. Add Chopped Eggplants and Tomatoes:
- Add the finely chopped roasted eggplants and tomatoes into the pan with the garlic and spices.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook this mixture for about 10-15 minutes until the excess moisture evaporates, and the flavors meld together.
- Make three wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each well.
- Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are set, but the yolks are still runny. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully scoop out portions of the Mirza Ghasemi, ensuring you get some of the egg with each serving.
- Serve hot with flatbread or rice.
