Godeh Aubergine: A Yummy Iranian FoodRecipe:

  1. Peel the aubergines and rub salt onto them. Then lay them in cold water for a few hours until the water turns a little black, meaning the hot taste of the aubergines has decreased.
  2. Change the water and repeat this action until the black-coloured, flatulence-causing materials of the aubergines dissolve in water and are disposed of with the water.
  3. Then wash the aubergines with cold water and make lengthwise cuts on them. The cuts should be shallow enough to keep the two sides of each aubergine from falling apart.
  4. Put some oil in a frying pan and fry the aubergines until they turn gold.
  5. take the top of tomatoes off and empty them with a spoon.
  6. Use a food processor to crush meat. Add some salt and pepper and put it aside.
