Mirza Ghasemi Recipe
Step 1
The authentic Mirza Ghasemi is prepared by roasting the eggplants. For this purpose, grill the eggplant on a stove or the heat of the fired-up coal until they are thoroughly soft and the skin blisters. If you do not like the smoky flavor, you can simmer them or wrap them in aluminum foil and grill them in an oven.
Step 2
After grilling the eggplants, let them cool, peel and purée them with a blender. You should remove the eggplant’s seeds so that the taste of Mirza Ghasemi does not become bitter at the end. You can also chop the eggplants with a knife until they form a rough purée. Then set them aside.
Step 3
Simmer the tomatoes in a pot filled with water for 5 minutes. Then take the tomatoes out of the water and let them cool down. Then you can peel their skin off easily. Now dice them finely or grate them with a fine garter.
