GRILLED EGGPLANT WITH YOGHURT SAUCE



Grilled Eggplant with Yoghurt Sauce image

This is adapted from a recipe by Karen Martini, a great Australian chef. Simple to make and so incredibly delicious. A "meaty" meat free dish for carnivores! I have noted where I strayed from the original recipe. This serves 3 to 4 as a light meal (accompanied with, for example, couscous), or 6 to 8 as a side.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggplants
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt ((Greek or natural))
1 garlic clove (, minced (Medium size. 1 large clove will make it too garlicky))
1 tsp cumin powder ((Note 1))
1 to 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice ((use amount to taste) (Note 2))
2 tbsp tahini ((sesame paste) (you can leave this out if you don't have it, it is still a tasty sauce))
1/4 tsp salt (, slightly heaped (about 3/8 tsp))
Black pepper
1/2 pomegranate (, seeds only (Note 3))
2 tbsp mint leaves (, finely sliced)
2 tbsp coriander / cilantro leaves
Red chilli (, finely sliced (to taste) (Note 4))
Wedges or cheeks of lemon ((optional))

Steps:

  • Combine the Yoghurt Sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside for the flavours to develop. The longer you leave it, the better it will taste.
  • Use a potato peeler to peel "strips" off the eggplant vertically as per the photo below. If your potato peeler is not sharp enough or if the eggplant is on the soft side, you might need to do this with a small sharp knife.
  • Cut the eggplant into 1.5cm / 2/3" thick rounds.
  • Brush one side of each eggplant with olive oil. The more you use, the yummier it will be!
  • Sprinkle the oiled side of the eggplant with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a griddle pan (or BBQ) on medium high heat. (Note 5)
  • Place the oiled side of each eggplant onto the pan and grill for 2 to 3 minutes until it gets deep char lines on it. While the first side is cooking, brush the other side of each eggplant with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Turn the eggplant and cook the other side until the eggplant is cooked through but still holding it's shape. The easy way to tell is to prod the centre - if you feel resistance, it needs to cook more.
  • Remove the eggplant onto a serving plate and let it cool for a few minutes. Then spoon a dollop of the yoghurt sauce on each, and scatter with coriander/cilantro, mint, pomegranate seeds and chili. Drizzle with extra olive oil and serve with cheeks or wedges of lemon, if desired.

Provided by StevenHB

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 small eggplants, about 6 inches long
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
pomegranate molasses
cilantro or green coriander, as garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill. If using charcoal, allow the coals to become covered with ash.
  • Place the eggplants on the grill rack and grill, turning as needed, until soft when pierced. Timing will depend upon the fire. Alternatively, cook them indoors on an asador, which will allow the skins to char while the eggplants retain their shapes.
  • Once tender, remove the eggplants to a bowl and cover. Let them sit for 10 minutes and peel off the skin.
  • Slit the eggplants in half lengthwise and arrange on a plate. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon tahini-yogurt sauce (see http://www.food.com/recipe/tahini-yogurt-sauce-524706) over eggplant then drizzle with just a little of the molasses. Garnish with cilantro/coriander.
  • Serve at room temperature.

  • Wash and pat dry the eggplant, then cut in half lengthwise (keeping the stalk on). With the tip of a knife, score the flesh deeply in a diamond criss- cross pattern by making five or six long cuts on the diagonal, cutting at a steep angle, and then rotating the eggplant to make another set of similar cuts (although do not cut through to the skin).
  • Brush both sides with the 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and sesame oil. Put the eggplant cut-side facing up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Season with sea salt, black pepper and garlic granules, place in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes.
  • Check often to make sure that they do not burn. If your eggplant still isn’t tender all the way through, bake for a further 5-10 minutes, then proceed with the rest of the recipe.
