Step 1
Halve eggplants lengthwise. Score the flesh in a crosshatch, brush with oil, and season with salt.
Step 2
Broil cut-side up 10–12 minutes until charred and tender; flesh should collapse when pressed.
Step 3
Scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash roughly with a fork until chunky-creamy; leave some texture.
Step 4
Mince garlic and whisk into kashk with pomegranate molasses until smooth and pourable.
Step 5
Spread warm eggplant onto a plate or shallow bowl. Pour kashk drizzle across the top.
Step 6
Crown with fried onions, dust with dried mint, and finish with sumac. Serve warm or at room temp.
