Ingredients

  • 4 small aubergines, sliced into 1cm/½in thick rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 150g pot natural yogurt
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • small bunch mint leaves, coarsely chopped

Method

  1. Drizzle the aubergine slices with olive oil and a little salt and pepper, and toss in a bowl. Heat a griddle pan until hot and cook the slices on both sides until soft and lightly charred; you’ll need to do this in batches. Leave to cool slightly on a serving plate.

  2. Meanwhile, mix the yogurt with the lemon juice, garlic and mint in a bowl. Season the mixture to taste. Drizzle the yogurt mixture over the griddled aubergine and serve at room temperature.
