Slice the eggplants into rounds and soak them in salted water for 15 minutes.
Dry the eggplants and fry both sides in a pan for 6 minutes.
Thinly slice the tomatoes and onion into rounds and arrange them in a baking dish.
Nestle the eggplants between the vegetables and drizzle with the pomegranate molasses sauce.
Bake in a 190°C oven for 25 minutes, watching that the sauce does not burn on the bottom.
Rest the baked arrangement for 6 minutes so the eggplants do not slide out of place.
Scatter fresh pomegranate seeds over the top and spoon the sauce from the plate around it.
💡 Tip: Soaking the eggplants in salted water helps them absorb less oil while frying.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds.
