🇮🇷 Iran recipe

Mirza Ghasemi

Mirza Ghasemi is a beloved smoky appetizer originating from the lush Gilan province in northern Iran. This rustic dish is built on the foundation of eggplants that are charred directly over an open flame until the skin is blackened and the flesh becomes impossibly soft and smoky. The smoky eggplant is then mashed with tomatoes and copious amounts of garlic, cooked down until thick, and finished with eggs stirred through just until barely set.
