Prep time: 12 min

Total time: 30 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and patted dry; ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves; 2 tablespoons onion, finely minced; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; ¾ teaspoon ground coriander; 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 1 large eggplant (about 1 lb), halved lengthwise; 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses; 2 teaspoons sumac; ½ cup pomegranate arils; fine sea salt; cracked black pepper; vegetable oil for shallow frying (about 1 cup)

Hand-formed chickpea fritters seasoned with cumin, coriander, and fresh cilantro are shallow-fried until mahogany-crisp outside and creamy inside. They rest on a bed of silky charred eggplant purée (brushed with pomegranate molasses), drizzled with infused oil made from pomegranate seed and sumac, and finished with pomegranate arils that burst with tart brightness.
