How To Make Smoked Aubergine With Yoghurt

Step 1: Smoke the aubergine

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.

Tip: you can flavour the yoghurt with Moroccan lemons, Indian spice mixtures, pickles etc.
