Iranian Mirza Ghasemi
An Iranian starter of roasted, smoky eggplant with tomato, garlic, turmeric, and egg, cooked until creamy.
Mirza ghasemi is an Iranian eggplant dish particularly associated with Gilan and the Caspian region. This version combines roasted eggplant, tomato, garlic, and egg; tomato purée and a touch of sugar appear in a documented variation. Serve it hot as a starter, with bread if you like.
Method
- 01
Roast the eggplants
Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Pierce the eggplants several times with a fork and roast them for 40–45 minutes, until the skins are blistered and the flesh is completely tender. Let them rest until they are cool enough to handle; remove the skins and reserve the flesh.
45 min - 02
Cook the tomato and garlic
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook it gently; stir in the turmeric and chopped tomatoes. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are tender and a thick sauce has formed.
20 min - 03
Add the eggplant
Add the roasted eggplant flesh to the pan. Mash it and mix it into the sauce; simmer for 3 minutes.
3 min - 04
Add the tomato purée, sugar, and salt
Stir in the tomato purée, sugar, and salt. Simmer for 6–8 minutes, stirring regularly so the mixture does not stick.
8 min - 05
Cook the eggs and let the dish rest
Pour the beaten eggs into several small wells in the mixture. Simmer for 6 minutes, then stir to incorporate them. Check that the eggs are opaque and that the mixture has reached 70 °C for at least 2 seconds. Remove from the heat and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
