INSTRUCTIONS

* Note: See the "Homemade Pomegranate Molasses" recipe which is included in
this collection.
Start the preparation the day before serving. Preheat the oven to 425
degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil. Remove the stem end
from each eggplant. Slice the eggplants on the bias into 1/2-inch thick
ovals. Spread the slices on the baking sheet in a single layer and brush
with olive oil. Bake the eggplants 12 minutes on each side, or until golden
brown. Using a spatula, transfer the slices, overlapping slightly, to a
shallow serving dish. In a small bowl, combine the Pomegranate Molasses,
lemon juice, garlic, sugar, olive oil, and salt; blend well. Drizzle the
sauce over the eggplant. Top with the mint, parsley and pomegranate seeds.
Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until ready to serve. Can be
refrigerated overnight, but is best served at room temperature. This recipe
yields 6 servings.
