Just made this for dinner, but omitted the cilantro because ick. I added a bit of cinnamon to the glaze and served it over farro & lentils with some toasted walnuts. So good!

Chilli – I know, I used to take failed projects pretty hard, and it’s not easy when you try your hardest at something and the results isn’t what you’d hoped. Still, you can a) eat your mistakes (bonus!) and b) can always attempt again! :)
Justcooknyc – thank you so much!! hope you return.
Green Frieda, we served ours over basmati rice and it worked great. What would you cut it with? I can see the intense taste might not appeal to all, but my friend and I (or rather he, really) inhaled it.

I made this last night, after finding some pomegranate molasses at a grocery store in an Armenian neighborhood. It was tasty, although I think I should have served it over rice. The tangy sweet taste is good, but needed to be cut with something. Thanks for the opportunity to try a new eggplant dish and work with a new ingredient.

Wish I had some measure of your sang froid in dealing with culinary disasters. Mine are often colossal, with no hope of rescue, and though I know that you can’t win ‘em all, I hate the wastage involved in such situations. It takes me a lo-oooong time to go back and give the dish another shot. It helps to read about how other people work their way through such situations:) You are right about th of course.
I love brinjal…errr..eggplant (all these years here and I am yet to seamlessly adopt that word) and if I can find pomegranate molasses out here, I’m certainly going to try it!

Love what you said about trying and failing (or succeeding, in this case). The whole process is good.
One of the best things about having a blog is that you can RECORD your successes! I was always improvising, and if something turned out well, I never remembered what I did. Now you can recreate this delicious eggplant over and over (which I plan to do).

Luckily, I know a nearby store which I hope will stock pomegranate molassas – I’m checking tomorrow — but clearly you’re not in Portland, Oregon, where I live.
I feel sorta dumb for asking this, but I’m a new fan and haven’t yet read the archives. where are you blogging from?

This looks beautiful…I love eggplant but am pretty consistently at a loss for how to prepare it so I love this post! I too am the hugest fan of Sahadi’s, but also love SOS Chef in the east village near Tompkins Square park…also a wonderful source for all things french and middle eastern (and far, far beyond)!
