Boil the dried eggplants in boiling water for 12 minutes, then drain.
Mix the rice, onion, pepper paste, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, and spices.
Fill the eggplants halfway so the rice does not overflow as it swells.
Pack the dolmas tightly in the pot with their openings facing upward.
Add hot water and a little pomegranate molasses, then cook over low heat for 35 minutes.
Rest them in the pot for 10 minutes so the filling sets.
💡 Tip: Briefly boiling the dried eggplants and lifting them out right away keeps them from softening too much and tearing.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle parsley over the dried eggplant dolma and serve it warm.
