Persian Food - Khoreshte Bademjan (Eggplant Stew)


Letting the eggplant 'sweat'.


YUM...onions and turmeric...


I grill the eggplant on my pancake griddle without a drop of oil - the eggplant is perfect and the food isn't greasy - as eggplant can act as a bit of a sponge.


The finished food - delicious.

If you want our recipe, let me know. We probably make it a bit differently as foods can vary by family and city of birth apparently. We make it like Mano's mom. Here is a link to a great Persian food blog, and also a link to a fabulous Persian recipe book that we use a lot! Mooshe jan! (Enjoy!)
