  2. Place the eggplant on a cutting board and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel and chop.

  3. In a deep skillet, fry the onions and garlic in 3 tablespoons oil. Add tomatoes, pomegranate paste, or verjus, cook for 10 minutes over medium heat, add the eggplant, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, angelica powder, and mint. Stirring occasionally, simmer over low heat for another 35 minutes, and adjust seasoning.

  4. Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot or cold with lavash bread as an appetizer. Nush-e Jan!
