Ingredients

  • 2eggplant, large, sliced
  • 2 tbspolive oil
  • 1 cupGreek yogurt
  • 3 tbsptahini
  • 1 clovegarlic, crushed
  • 1lemon, juice only
  • cilantro
  • parsley
  • mint

Method

  1. 1

    Brush both sides of each eggplant slice with the olive oil and season them.

  2. 2

    Heat a grill pan or an outdoor grill until it is properly hot — a lukewarm pan steams eggplant instead of charring it.

  3. 3

    Grill the slices for 2–3 minutes a side, until they carry dark bar marks and give completely when pressed.

  4. 4

    Stir the Greek yogurt with the tahini, the crushed garlic, the lemon juice and most of the cilantro, parsley and mint, and season it well.

  5. 5

    Lay the eggplant out on a platter, spoon the dressing over and scatter the remaining herb leaves on top.
