Mirza Ghasemi
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplants
- 4 tomatoes
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prick the eggplants with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- While the eggplants are roasting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Score a small 'X' on the bottom of each tomato and blanch them in the boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Remove the tomatoes and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel the skin off the tomatoes, then chop them into small pieces.
- Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and chop the flesh into small pieces.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have broken down and the mixture has thickened.
- Add the chopped eggplant to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Create 4 wells in the eggplant and tomato mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Serve hot with crusty bread or rice. Enjoy!
