Eggplant

Pomegranate Garlic Sauce

Method

Roasting the Eggplant

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the eggplants in half lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern without cutting through the skin. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Roast the Eggplant

    Place the eggplants cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes until the flesh is tender and caramelized.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pomegranate Garlic Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, minced garlic, honey, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces by half and thickens, about 15-20 minutes.

Serving

  1. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the eggplants are roasted, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Drizzle the pomegranate garlic sauce over the eggplant halves. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and pomegranate seeds before serving.
