INGREDIENTS
1 medium Japanese Eggplant (300g)
1.5 cups Nonfat Greek Yogurt (340g)
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Fresh Mint, chopped
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the Japanese eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh lightly with a knife. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the eggplant halves cut side up on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the flesh is soft and golden.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the herb yogurt sauce by combining the nonfat Greek yogurt, chopped mint, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to blend the flavors.
Once the eggplant is roasted, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
To serve, spoon a generous amount of the herb yogurt sauce over the roasted eggplant, and enjoy this wholesome dish either for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
