Aubergines met frisse yoghurtsaus en granaatappelpitjes
  • Rinse and cut the aubergines in half longways. Use a sharp knife to slit the flesh crosswise. Make sure the skin remains intact.
  • Rub olive oil on the inside of the aubergines and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Leave to soak in while you prepare the yoghurt dressing.
  • Place the yoghurt in a bowl and stir in just enough cold water to make a sauce, about 2 tablespoons.
    Season with crushed mint leaves, garlic, a little salt and lemon juice. Or blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
    Place in the fridge and chill, covered, until needed.
  • Place the aubergines, face down, on a preheated grill pan. Grill for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until the aubergines are charred and starting to soften.
  • Cut the pomegranate and remove the seeds from it.
  • Serve the aubergines with the yoghurt dressing and the pomegranate seeds. Garnish with the remaining mint leaves.
