Vegetarian Gheymeh Bademjan (Aubergine & Split Pea Stew)

Enjoy a rich and satisfying vegetarian take on a beloved classic with Chef Javad’s Vegetarian Gheymeh Bademjan. This hearty and flavourful authentic Persian stew is a wonderful meat-free option available at Chef Javad Restaurant, celebrated as one of London’s best Persian restaurants.

This comforting stew features creamy yellow split peas slow-cooked in Chef Javad’s special Persian tomato sauce, deeply infused with the unique tang of dried limes (Limoo Omani). Silky, melt-in-your-mouth slices of fried aubergine (eggplant) are the star, simmered gently in the sauce to absorb all the rich flavours. We often add hearty mushrooms for extra texture and depth.

Traditionally garnished with crispy chips (fries) for a delightful crunch, this delicious vegetarian aubergine and split pea stew is served alongside fluffy saffron rice. It’s a truly satisfying and flavourful Persian comfort food experience.
