Aubergines were brought to Iran from India in ancient times. The list of Persian rice dishes has no ending. This dish can be flavoured with saffron, too. I usually use saffron (I'm lucky I always have a stash sent to me by family from Iran) but sweet smoked Spanish.
Instructions to make Aubergine Sauce with Saffron Rice:
- Heat some oil in a wok over high heat. Add eggplants in a single layer (you may have to do this in batches). Fry until browned (not cooked through). Remove from wok and set aside in a colander
- Add some more oil to the wok and toss in the bell pepper until charred. Set aside in the same colander
- Next, reduce heat to medium, oil the wok if needed. Add the onion and fry until golden brown, then add ginger and garlic. After about 1 minute, add capers, olives and crushed tomatoes
- Transfer all the vegetables from the colander into the wok. Simmer over low heat for 40-45 minutes with the seasoning: sugar, stock cube, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, chili flakes, garam masala, sumach and sweet paprika
- In the meantime, cook the rice in 3 cups of water and a pinch of saffron. Cover until ready to eat
- Finally, prepare the berries: heat some butter in a small frying pan. Add barberries and sugar. Toss berries for about 2 minutes and take off heat
- To serve: scoop some rice in a bowl, top with crispy berries and the vegetable sauce. Enjoy :)
