Plan ahead. Peel and salt the eggplants to draw out bitterness

Method

  1. Salt the peeled eggplants, rinse, and pat them dry.

  2. Fry the onion, add the meat, and brown it with the spices.

  3. Cook down the tomato or paste and add it to the meat with hot water.

  4. Simmer gently until the meat is tender.

  5. Fry the eggplants, arrange them over the stew, and add the verjuice.

  6. Cook a further twenty minutes until the stew is developed and the oil rises.

Cook's notes

Fry the eggplant separately and add it at the end so it does not collapse, and add the verjuice last to keep its sharpness fresh.

Background

Mosamma is one of the older, well-established Iranian stews, and its eggplant version is cooked in many households as a dish for guests.
