Khoresh Bademjan (Persian Aubergine Stew)

Khoresh Bademjan is a comforting Persian aubergine stew that gets its distinctive flavours from the rich aroma of fried aubergines and tangy preserved black limes. Although it is traditionally made with meat, it is also common to use yellow split peas instead, turning this into a wholesome vegan option.
