2
large eggplants
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon salt
black pepper
1 tablespoon Olive oil
5 oz Yogurt |
juice
of one lemon
4 tablespoons freshly chopped mint
4 tablespoons freshly chopped mint
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
| Cut eggplants into
1 cm thick slices and layer them in a colander with the salt.
Let them drain for 30 minutes. Wash them under cold water and
dry them on paper towels. Beat together oil, lemon juice, mint,
cumin, garlic and pepper. Beat together, separately, the yogurt,
mint and cumin. Heat the grill to high. Lay the eggplant slices
on the hot rack and brush them with half the lemon mixture.
Grill them until they begin to brown. This will take about 2
minutes. Turn over, brush with the rest of the lemon mixture and
brown. Serve grilled eggplants hot with the sauce separately as
an appetizer. Or place the eggplant on a large platter and spoon
the sauce over the top and serve as a vegetable accompaniment
for middle eastern dishes. Serves 4. |
