One of the simplest mezes from a Turkish cuisine that loves aubergine. The skin charred directly over the flame gives it its distinctive, smoky flavour.
Prick the aubergines with a fork, and roast them with the peppers directly over a gas flame, on a grill, or under the oven's grill setting, turning, until the skin is blackened all over and they're completely soft (about 20-25 minutes).
Put the peppers in a bowl, cover with foil, and let steam for 10 minutes so the skin peels off easily.
Slit the aubergines lengthwise, scoop out the flesh, place in a sieve, and let drain for 10 minutes.
Peel and deseed the peppers, and roughly chop with the aubergine using a knife.
Mix with the tomato, garlic and parsley, then season with the olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, salt and pepper.
Serve warm or chilled, with toasted bread.

Tips
Drain the aubergine in a metal sieve so the salad doesn't turn watery.
