Prepare the eggplants: Prick each eggplant several times with a fork. Char the eggplants directly over a gas flame (medium-high heat), under a broiler, or on a grill until the skin is completely blackened and blistered, and the flesh is very soft and collapsed. This should take about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. The key is to achieve a deep smoky flavor.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 2
Steam and peel the eggplants: Once charred, carefully place the hot eggplants in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Let them steam for about 10-15 minutes. This loosens the skin. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skin. Discard the skin and stem. Finely chop the eggplant flesh or mash it using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Sauté aromatics and tomatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it. Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and become saucy, about 8-10 minutes. If the pan seems dry, add a little more oil.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Combine and cook eggplant: Add the mashed eggplant to the skillet with the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and excess moisture to evaporate. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 5
Add eggs: Create two wells in the eggplant mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, you can gently scramble the eggs into the mixture until they are just cooked through, but a runny yolk is traditional.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Serve: Serve the Mirza Ghasemi immediately, hot, directly from the skillet or spooned onto a platter. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil if desired. It is traditionally served with fresh Persian bread (like Sangak or Barbari) for scooping.
