Step 1:

Smoke the aubergine

Heat the frying pan on high heat until very hot. Place both aubergines in the pan and let them char for about 15 to 20 mins, turning occasionally until they feel soft. Once soft, take them out and let them cool down.

Tip: the cooking of the aubergine can be done in a very hot oven but they would lose some of the smoky flavour.

Step 2:

Cook the tomatoes and garlic

Put the cherry tomatoes and the garlic cloves in the saucepan and cover with the olive oil. Add the herbs and bring to a very low simmer for 7 mins then allow to cool down.

Step 3:

Smoothen the yoghurt

Pour the yoghurt into a small bowl and whisk it a little to create a smooth texture.

---

Step 4:

Add the tomatoes

Now add the tomatoes, garlic, the chopped parsley and some of the oil.

Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Step 5:

Clean the aubergines

Once the aubergines have cooled down a little, peel off the burned skin and put them in a strainer so the excess water can drain away.

---

Step 6:

Let them strain

Leave them in the strainer for about 10 min to drain properly.

---

Step 7:

Serve

Place the aubergine on a plate and dress with the flavoured yoghurt.
