Mirza Ghasemi - Persian Grilled Smoked Eggplant with Tomatoes and Eggs

Mirza Ghasemi is a flavourful Persian aubergines/eggplant dip from northern Iran. If you tried my previous Mirza Ghasemi recipe, I encourage you to give this one a go as well, whether you want to serve it with real or vegan eggs.

In this recipe the smoked aubergines are at the forefront of the dish, not being overpowered by the tomatoes, eggs or any other flavours. I promise you, it tastes like a piece of heaven.
