EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC YOGHURT

SERVES FOUR

INGREDIENTS

2 eggplants (aubergines)

sea salt

2 garlic cloves

500 g Greek-style plain yoghurt

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

pinch of sweet paprika

crusty bread to serve

METHOD

Cook the eggplants over a gas burner or barbecue until the skin is blackened and the flesh is soft. Cool slightly, then peel the eggplant and put the flesh in a colander. Sprinkle with sea salt and allow the liquid to drain, then roughly chop the eggplant.

Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic with a pinch of sea salt. Fold the garlic through the yoghurt, then fold the eggplant through the yoghurt. Serve drizzled with the extra-virgin olive oil, paprika and crusty bread.
