- 2 people
Step 1: You will need
- 2 large aubergines
- 200 ml yoghurt
- 100 g cherry tomatoes
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- 1 sprig of thyme
- 150 ml olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- salt
- pepper
- 1 frying pan
- 1 small saucepan
- 1 bowl
- 1 spoon
- 1 whisk
- 1 strainer
Step 2: 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 3: 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 4: Smoothen the yoghurt
Pour the yoghurt into a small bowl and whisk it a little to create a smooth texture.
Step 5: 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 6: 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 7: Let them strain
Leave them in the strainer for about 10 min to drain properly.
Step 8: Serve
Place the aubergine on a plate and dress with the flavoured yoghurt.
Step 9: VIDEOJUG TIP
Tip: you can flavour the yoghurt with Moroccan lemons, Indian spice mixtures, pickles etc.
